Description
Newly arrived in Ramsdale, New Hampshire, European émigré Humbert Humbert is smitten. He plans to marry Charlotte Haze. That way he'll always be close to his dear one - Charlotte's precocious daughter!
Filmmaker
Stanley Kubrick explores the theme of sexual obsession (a subject he would revisit 37 years later in Eyes Wide Shut) with this darkly comic and deeply moving version of Vladimir Nabokov's novel.
James Mason plays devious, deluded Humbert: wedded to needy Charlotte (Shelly Winters); rivaled by the ubiquitous Clare Quilty (chameleonlike
Peter Sellers); and enraptured to his gelatinous core by the blithe teen (
Sue Lyon) with that "lovely, lyrical, lilting name" - Lolita.
