When worldly, middle-aged professor Humbert Humbert (James Mason) rents a room from widowed Charlotte Haze (Shelly Winters), he quickly becomes obsessed with her young daughter, Lolita (Sue Lyon). Humbert goes so far as to marry Charlotte to be close to her daughter, but when Charlotte discovers her husband's secret lust, the knowledge leads to her death. Now free to pursue his obsession with his willing, under-aged stepdaughter, Humbert seduces Lolita, unable to control a lust that will destroy him. Review: This Is an Experience in an Alternate Universe. - When this movie was filmed, it starred Sue Lyon- (age between 14 & 15at the time this was filmed). James Mason was (age 53), Shelley Winters (age 42), and Peter Sellers (age 37). Their given ages helps paint the scene. The acting in this drama by all (including Sue Lyon ) is wonderful!!! I enjoy well performed movies and I have enjoyed this one VERY much. I will copy and paste the below from an Internet discussion. The below is not written by myself. Parents need to know that Lolita is director Stanley Kubrick's dark "comedy" based on Vladimir Nabokov's novel about a man who fantasizes about and sexually abuses a teenage girl. While most of the sexual content is heavily veiled and implied, the plot makes light of Humbert Humbert (James Mason)'s obsession with 14-year-old Dolores (Sue Lyon, who was also 14 at the time of filming) and frames her flirtation as consent. Two women are central characters, but Dolores is inappropriately portrayed as being sexually savvy and in control of her abusive situation. Two people die off-screen. There's virtually no racial diversity, and outdated terms "colored" and "oriental" are used by White characters. Other language includes "damn," "hell," "shut up," "God," "jerk," "brat," and "creep." Casual drinking and smoking and two characters are shown in a drunken stupor. O.k., the above is a good description ,,, This movie is captivating. I wouldn't show it to children, but there isn't anything filmed that is offensive to watch. It's based on the novel, so is psychologically provoking so fascinating to spend time with. I don't believe Sue Lyon made any more movies (I am not sure) but she sure was a very good actress in this one. Cute, adorable and very intelligently acted. Liberties were taken during filming so the Lolita character is vastly different from the book version. Very good movie, and personally, I just LOVE James Mason AND Shelley Winters in this one. Very handsome and talented gentleman, and Shelley's acting is non pareil. She is lovely; emotional - helpless and brilliant! I can't think of anyone else playing the part of Charlotte Haze. This is a VERY good movie... a Classic . Review: Another KUBRICK Masterpiece!!!! - Whoa!! I’ve been a Kubrick fan since I saw “THE SHINING” in 1980…. I was absolutely obsessed with that film (and still am😏)! Then “2001: a Space Odyssey” captured my attention at about 10 years old. “Full Metal Jacket” and “Clockwork Orange” were soon to follow. And with the exception of “THE SHINING” I’d only experienced Kubrick’s masterful filmmaking style on home video (via VHS). Then in 1999 we had the finale Kubrick cinematic masterpiece “Eyes Wide Shut”. And on the first viewing in the theater (of course) I was a bit disappointed with the outcome of that movie. I didn’t appreciate, at the time, the phenomenal work from the actors, the visuals, the music…. STANLEY KUBRICK unapologetically! And now it’s one of my favorites. Then, after a long, long, long while… I finally brought myself to want another Kubrick film. Although Stanley had passed in 1999 (in junction with the release of “Eyes Wide Shut”) I desperately WANTED to see another Kubrick film. Although, the thought of a story set in the 17th century was not appealing to me… unless Dracula was involved.🤪 So I bought “Barry Lyndon” thinking: It’s a Kubrick film, how bad could it be? And, Oh my…. How that film took me in was nothing short of miraculous cineMAGIC from the first viewing!!! So. Here we are, at present: 2/9/2026… I saw “Lolita”… and, just like with all the others…. It was a hypnotic trip, told through the visceral cinematic language that only STANLEY KUBRICK could do. At two and a half hours this film kept me on the edge in a way no other Kubrick film did. Although nothing IMO beats “THE SHINING”… THIS is a masterpiece in its own right. TIMELESS is the subject matter. And the film is absolutely stunning in its portrayal of that famous book by Nabokov. 🔥 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Diana Decker, Gary Cockrell, James B.

And the film is absolutely stunning in its portrayal of that famous book by Nabokov. 🔥 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ European Aesthete Meets American Ingenue *by J***S on June 6, 2020* James Mason perfectly captures Nabokov's Humbert Humbert's (aka the "Professor") delusional obsession with sexy American twelve-year old Dolores Haze (aka "Lolita") in Stanley Kubrick's 1962 film adaption of Nabokov's famous novel ("Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins"). He plays his landlady Charlotte Haze's (Shelley Winters) fascination with Humbert Humbert's erudite European sophistication (a dryly funny parody of Nabokov himself) in order to groom young Lolita for the darkly illicit plans he has for her future. Their eventual road trip together is like nothing in contemporary literature or film. Only Luchino Visconti's film version of Thomas Mann's Death in Venice (1971), with Dirk Bogarde playing Mann's elderly aesthete Gustav von Aschenbach, compares in unveiling the hollow inner emotional life of the classic sexually-repressed European intellectual. Kubrick has taken other novels (some famous, some not so famous) for his films, in each case varying the genre: Anthony Burgess' famous dystopian novel A Clockwork Orange; Arthur C. Clarke's less-known 1951 short story The Sentinel for Kubrick's sci-fi epic 2001: A Space Odyssey; Gustav Hansford's little-known short story about US Marine recruits The Short Timers for Kubrick's (subtly antiwar) film Full Metal Jacket; and the mostly unknown psychological study of the 1926 novella Traumnovelle (Dream Story) by Arthur Schnitzler for his final film Eyes Wide Shut. In each case, Kubrick's film is lucid and compelling, and true to the spirit of the novelist's story, even if the film varies in significant ways from the underlying novel. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/1880648-lolita-1962-b-and-w-dvd](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/1880648-lolita-1962-b-and-w-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
