![]() Humbert arrives to pick up Lolita from camp she does not yet know her mother is dead. In an outburst, she runs outside, but is hit by a car and dies. Charlotte discovers Humbert's diary entries detailing his passion for Lolita and describing Charlotte as "obnoxious" and "brainless". Things turn sour for the couple in the absence of the child: glum Humbert becomes more withdrawn, and Charlotte grows increasingly unfulfilled and upset. Though he roars with laughter while reading the sadly heartfelt yet characteristically overblown letter, Humbert marries Charlotte. The letter says that if Humbert is still in the house when she returns, Charlotte will know her love is requited, and he must marry her. After the Hazes depart for camp, the maid gives Humbert a letter from Charlotte, confessing her love for him and demanding he vacate at once unless he feels the same way. However, Charlotte wants all of Humbert's time for herself and tells him that she will be sending Lolita to an all-girl sleepaway camp for the summer. To be close to Lolita, Humbert accepts Charlotte's offer and becomes a lodger in the Haze household. He declines until seeing her 12-year-old daughter, Dolores, affectionately nicknamed "Lolita", with whom he becomes infatuated. He searches for a room to rent, and Charlotte Haze, a cloying, sexually frustrated widow, invites him to stay at her house. 1 on the piano before being shot to death by Humbert "Hum" Humbert, a middle-aged British professor of French literature.įour years earlier, Humbert arrives in Ramsdale, New Hampshire, intending to spend the summer before his professorship begins at Beardsley College, Ohio.

Lolita polarized contemporary critics for its controversial depictions of child sexual abuse. The actress who played Lolita, Sue Lyon, was 14 at the time of filming. Owing to restrictions imposed by the Motion Picture Production Code, the film toned down the most provocative aspects of the novel, sometimes leaving much to the audience's imagination. It stars James Mason, Shelley Winters, Peter Sellers and, as the titular character, Sue Lyon. ![]() The film follows Humbert Humbert, a middle-aged literature lecturer who becomes sexually infatuated with Dolores Haze (nicknamed "Lolita"), a young adolescent girl. PS.Lolita is a 1962 psychological comedy-drama film directed by Stanley Kubrick and based on the 1955 novel of the same title by Vladimir Nabokov, who is also credited with writing the screenplay. I'd like to see some way of listing alternative versions, but I'd also like to see real dupes shown up as well. ![]() I'm sorry to be picky about such a terrific program, but surely if a movie has two different dates then it clearly isn't a duplicate - it's an alternative version. It seems as if dupes are still just considered by title only. However, my two different versions of Lolita (19) don't show up as duped because the titles are catalogued with the date in after the name of the movie. I also have many movies on Blu-ray and also DVD and they show up as dupes still. I just ran a dupes check and they are still finding totally different movies as dupes - for example, the 20 versions of Ocean's Eleven show up as dupes despite clearly being totally different movies in every respect - crew, date, distribution, cast and so on. Hi Conor - is it my imagination or did I read somewhere that the issues over Duplicates had been resolved in the latest release of DVDPedia? In this case we fall on the side of caution and include them as they can then be reviewed by the user to decide if they are duplicates or not. Some people want those as duplicates, some don't. This also happens for those that have the Blu-ray and regular version, as the title matches. ![]()
