Lolita (1962)

This is a moderate movie. British professor Humbert (James Mason) has recently arrived in Ramsdale, New Hampshire and while looking for a place to rent, meets a young widow (Shelley Winters) who invites him to stay. At first he is reluctant to move in, but is persuaded to stay. He plans to marry the woman so he’ll be close to her flirtatious teenage daughter (Sue Lyon).

It is based on the 1955 novel by multilingual Russian author Vladimir Nabokov. The 1980 song "Don't Stand So Close to Me" by The Police mentions the book in the line "Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov." Sue Lyon was only 14 when she was selected for the role and 15 when it was released. The film left out most of the sexual content and director Stanley Kubric said if he had known that in advance he probably wouldn't have made the film. Many of the outdoor scenes were shot in England. A remake was released in 1997.
