Vladimir Nabokov's racy classic focuses on an aging intellectual in love with a teenager.
Starring: James Mason, Shelly Winters, Sue Lyons, Peter Sellers
I recently found out that the book was actually based on a real incident/kidnapping.

Am watching now. I've never seen this movie before. A bite provocative for 1962.
The movie has alot of humor . Shelley Winters was fabulous , always prancing around in leopard print , tops, belts , dresses, ect. She was a talented actress . I was surprised that Peter Sellers was in the movie . He was comical in the scene where he takes on numerous persona .

Peter Sellers role in this movie was suppose to be very small - one scene non speaking. However, the producer loved the way he improvised-went off script that he expanded it.
James Mason was going to retire from making movies to work on Broadway prior to accepting the lead in Lolita. When he read the script, he wanted the limited role that was given to Peter. He thought it would have been a hoot, since he could not dance in real life.
