Lolita is a wild, marvellously enjoyable comedy adapted by Nabokov from his own novel. The film opens with Humbert's walk into a messy mansion. After taunting Quilty, Humbert shoots
him before the film settles into a flashback. The flashback begins with Humbert Humbert, a
middle-aged British professor, on his way to take a position at an Ohio college. He stops for a

sees Charlotte's nubile daughter, Lolita, however, he decides to stay... (CineBooks' Motion
