Lolita
“How did they ever make a movie of Lolita?” asked the ads. Well, it wasn’t easy, but Stanley Kubrick managed to pull off a brilliant take on Nabokov’s “unfilmable” novel that passed the finicky 1962 censors. For years they said, if only he’d waited a few more years for the screen to loosen up – and then Adrian Lyne’s remake came out and Stanley’s version started looking a lot better.
