it &#8220;looks better with every passing year.&#8221; He argues that &#8220;perhaps we&#8217;ve begun to accept Kubrick&#8217;s sophisticated cinematic techniques (use of visuals, music) as a storytelling alternative to Nabakov&#8217;s celebrated prose (i.e., use of language); we better appreciate the mannered comedy of Peter Sellers (this was before Kubrick&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=51940\"><em>Dr. Strangelove<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=52283\"><em>What&#8217;s New, Pussycat?<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=32736\"><em>The Pink Panther<\/em><\/a>); and we have now seen enough Eric Rohmer films &#8212; in which sophisticated &#8216;gentlemen&#8217; can fall madly in love with bland, beautiful teenagers <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=5025\">simply because they have tantalizing, dimpled knees<\/a> &#8212; to understand that [14]-year-old Lolita (Sue Lyon) need do absolutely nothing sexually provocative (other than sit around in a skimpy bikini and heart-shaped glasses) for nymphette-lover Humbert Humbert (James Mason) to be in uncontrolled heat.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In his description of the film&#8217;s narrative, Peary notes that after Winters (giving &#8220;a hilarious performance&#8221;) is &#8220;run over (conveniently), Humbert whisk[s] Lolita out of camp&#8221; (Camp Climax!) &#8220;and [takes] her on a lengthy trip, from one motel to the next&#8221;, becoming increasingly &#8220;possessive of Lolita and [forbidding] his young lover to date once they settle down and she [goes] to school.&#8221; However, Lolita has been &#8220;going out on the sly with the openly perverse Quilty [Sellers], the director of the school play in which she had the lead&#8221;, and eventually she runs &#8220;off with Quilty, whom she considered a genius.&#8221; Peary notes that &#8220;to this naive girl Humbert [is] normal&#8221; &#8212; though &#8220;of course, Humbert isn&#8217;t normal at all &#8212; and much humor comes from his difficult attempts to appear normal\/moral to the people he comes across (so they won&#8217;t suspect him of improprieties with Lolita) only to discover that those who judge him are as wacko as he is.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Peary writes that the &#8220;picture is at times screamingly funny,&#8221; that &#8220;the performances by Sellers&#8230; and Mason &#8212; talking smart yet acting like a five-year-old, displaying a sickly smile &#8212; are marvelous,&#8221; and that &#8220;pretty Sue Lyon, only [14]&#8230; but looking sexy and 17, gives a very self-assured, naughty (notice that smile, indicating she <em>knows what Humbert&#8217;s up to<\/em>) Carroll Baker-like portrayal.&#8221; Indeed, Lyon&#8217;s performance is at the heart of this film&#8217;s success &#8212; she&#8217;s preternaturally able to embody this challenging role and convince us that events are playing out exactly as seen on screen. (It&#8217;s too bad Lyon had such a tough time with Hollywood, since her performance here indicates she was a natural.) Mason, of course, is stellar as always, and Sellers shows the genius for characterization he would demonstrate to greatest effect in <em>Dr. Strangelove<\/em> just two years later. While not for all tastes, Kubrick&#8217;s adaptation of Nabakov&#8217;s novel remains a provocative, well-made classic, worthy of at least one-time viewing. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and
