Lolita part 9

[BarnabasFrid]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwk waaaaaaaaaaard!

[IRobertMarah]

'You have a most interesting face, goodnight.'

I use this quote so much in everyday life.

[Calucifer13]

Peter Sellers is seriously SCARY.

[salnabila]

Uhhh!!!!!!!!

[MoriartysSaloon]

The cot scene is hilarious!

[j3wrnmiguitarist]

Peter Sellers is awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[AmusedChild]

Having Peter Sellers in a scene with James Mason is deliciously naughty in its own right.

[Cheops2112]

Sue Lyon Is the hottest girl EVER....Sue, If you're out there, I'm your BIGGEST fan and will NEVER forget you.

[TRussell148]

The 1997 version is definitely more true to the novel than this one... but both are pretty good.

[Hobbyist56]

good acting and quality for a 1962 film

[TeamZissouMember]

"because I'm a normal guy......." yammer yammer yammer yammer....

haha

I love it

[Myan852]

I love Quilty's voice haha. Idk what it is about it, but I always end up laughing, I love it lol

[MixeryBuxinexx]

"you have a most interesting face, goodnight." lol love him.

[SFforlife]

God, Quilty is SOO creepy in the '97 version....I just can't believe how Lolita would like that guy....ugh.

[roshylov]

I think that the 1997 version was more true to the novel, but this movie is certainly hilarious and a classic!

[LolitaHazeCI]

The 1997 remake made me cry!

Jeremy Irons is so much better!!![2]

[gridergirl]

THIS MOVIE IS PURE BULLSHIT!!!

I'm almost finished with the novel, and I can say that the '97 remake is a lot more true to the novel, as well as more interesting!

JEREMY IRONS IS SOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!

[JacksVendetta]

I don't think it's fair to call the film bullshit... it was released in 1962, and there were quite a lot of restrictions put on what could be filmed and how. it was even dictated what the actress HAD to look like down to her breast size. The writer of the novel created the screenplay for this, as well. He had to censor himself. We can get away with taboo subjects much easier now than they could in '62.

[ACOFan19]

I think this is alot more true to the novel than you may think.. I mean, think of all of the dark humour that Nabokov twisted into his novel. Kubrick did the perfect job in bringing out that really dark but humourous side of Lolita.

[Spider0Web]

gosh in this scene James Mason looks and sounds so much like Sam Neill, that's so weird.

[NightmarePictures]

James Mason (Humbert) sounds so much like Jeremy Irons. In some spots it's almost like they dubbed in Irons' lines from the 97 remake.

[freedomemotion3]

god this is awful! i don't know why this is regarded as better than lyne's. kubrick uses it as a vehicle for sellers' comedy. the mood is al wrong. sue lyons is a good actress but she lacks sensuality. and the slapstick with the black porter is just uncomfortable. this has dated really badly and reminds me of a lot of other peter sellers comedies from the early sixties.

[smilingladybird]

I get carried away being so normal and everything too sometimes.

[CeramicVideo]

I Don't Understand Why He Just Started Babbling to Humbert?!

[mayly4ever]

es una verGA!

[wilca59]

What a normal performance from Peter Sellers. Must come naturally to him, being so normal and all.

[JoeChrisMorris]

LOL!

[godardtruffaut]

did you saw peter sellers on "beign there"?..he's just awesome, funny & sad..natural and all like you said...plus he did the other roles like the indian guy from "the party"..in that one he gives us chaplin and keaton...r.i.p..peter...great movies..good old times..cheers!

[ACOFan19]

Being There is one of my favourite movies. :) He really was awesome, and I think he was amazing in Lolita.

[godardtruffaut]

hi!!...he was terrific on dr strangelove too...so good...he was an man character off and on screen....cheers!....ps: beign there was trully sad & funny...i was a little sad about the character when the movie ended...i dont know why...well...and the new dvd remaster of beign there is awesome too..but i wish the criterion collection would release it properly in a 2 disc dvd edition & a bunch of extras and stuff....plus fancy artwork..it would be nice :)

[ACOFan19]

Oh, definitely.. he was amazing in Dr. Strangelove (during all three roles!) I think so too, he was definitely a very interesting but talented person.

I did too, but I really loved the ending of Being There, it was a total surprise to me what happened. I'd like to see that. I want to get it on Blu-ray, maybe.. that would be nice. I think that would be a good idea too.. :)

[godardtruffaut]

we want criterion!!!

[jennahaze1982]

why does the colored man keep talking so loudly???

[lala00lala00]

what's up with quilty? is he squizophrenic or what?

i dont like this version, 1997's rules!!

[maba7x]

I LUV the '97 version more!!!:D

[loren1283]

not enough sex

[LLCoolestL]

In reaction to one of the comments below, Peter Seller, as talented as he is, is NOT God - that is highly blasphemous.

[electricbubbles]

it's blasphemous how TALENTED Peter Sellers is!

[JacksVendetta]

Have you met god, by chance? =P lmao

[south0park04ever1]

little bit of racist humour there from the fifties ...

[carvalcob]

Why? I didn't see racism in the fact that a person being bell boy.

[south0park04ever1]

Not really, but the the fact that he was so clumsy and constantly had to be hushed by Humbert

[Recusal]

It's not that he's a bell boy. It's the use of the incompetent black man as a source of comedy. Since he cannot understand social graces, he speaks loudly and childishly. Also, beyond his cluelessness, he has no idea that Humbert's use of the cot is a ruse, since Humbert REALLY wants to get inside the bed beside Lolita. Blackness is not the central issue, although it contributes to the notion of sexual deviance contextually.

[jennahaze1982]

this is from the sixties

[ralphp1800]

so weird, quilty didn't come across this way in the book.

[Jenniferka]

"I get sorta carried away you know, being so normal and everything."

ahahhah

[Feamelwen]

Well yeah, this guy is amazing. "I mean, you really look normal, yeah, a normal guy with a pretty little tall lovely girl" ... ;D

[OBuddha]

PETER SELLERS IS BASICALLY GOD.
