Watch: Lolita 1962 123movies, Full Movie Online – Humbert Humbert forces a confrontation with a man, whose name he has just recently learned, in this man’s home. The events that led to this standoff began four years earlier. Middle aged Humbert, a European, arrives in the United States where he has secured at job at Beardsley College in Beardsley, Ohio as a Professor of French Literature. Before he begins his post in the fall, he decides to spend the summer in the resort town of Ramsdale, New Hampshire. He is given the name of Charlotte Haze as someone who is renting a room in her home for the summer. He finds that Charlotte, widowed now for seven years, is a woman who puts on airs. Among the demonstration of those airs is throwing around the name of Clare Quilty, a television and stage script writer, who came to speak at her women’s club meeting and who she implies is now a friend. Those airs also mask being lonely, especially as she is a sexually aggressive and liberated woman. Humbert considers Charlotte a proverbial “joke” but decides to rent the room upon meeting Charlotte’s provocative daughter, Dolores Haze – more frequently referred to as Lolita – who he first spots in a bikini tanning in the back yard. He is immediately infatuated with Lolita, with who he becomes obsessed in a sexual manner despite her age, she being just into her teens. He will also learn that Charlotte has the exact same feelings for him. While Charlotte does whatever she can to be alone with Humbert, Humbert does the same with Lolita. As the summer progresses, Humbert, based on the circumstances, decides to enter into a relationship with Charlotte just to be near Lolita. In that new arrangement, Humbert has to figure out how to achieve his goal of being with Lolita with Charlotte out of the way. As things begin to go Humbert’s way, he is unaware that Charlotte is not the only thing standing in his way between him and Lolita, that other thing being Lolita’s possible interest in other boys, and other members of the male sex, young or old, who may have their own designs on Lolita..
Plot: Humbert Humbert is a middle-aged British novelist who is both appalled by and attracted to the vulgarity of American culture. When he comes to stay at the boarding house run by Charlotte Haze, he soon becomes obsessed with Lolita, the woman’s teenaged daughter.

Humorous, disturbing, and everything in between!
I think Stanley Kubrick was the only director who had any ideas of how to tackle a film version of Lolita. I also believe that he was the only director who could have succeeded, and I believe he did succeed. This film was everything I could have expected it to be, and maybe even a little more.

Shelley Winters’ performance was wonderful! James Mason delivered a strong effort in a very difficult part to play. Peter Sellers was Peter Sellers, four or five times throughout the movie, but that’s Peter Sellers, and that’s why I am really starting to admire his work. The real surprise performance in this movie, however, came from Sue Lyon in the title role. Her intensity was incredible. She seemed perfectly natural as a teenage girl enjoying the attention of older men, or just men in general. You could really see the wheels turning in her head as she schemed her way from one situation to the other. Some have criticized that her Lolita was “too old” in comparison to the novel’s Lolita. One could make that judgment, however, what twelve year old actress would have been able to provide the emotional depth required for the part? Let’s face it, in literary adaptations, some license must be allowed. All in all, I thought it was a very good movie, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the work of Stanley Kubrick and/or Peter Sellers.

Sly, provocative fable about obsession
In one of cinema’s most sensual opening credit sequences, a male hand lovingly paints the nails of a woman’s foot. The hand belongs to 40-something professor Humbert Humbert (James Mason, note that some of the odd names in the film are due to the narrative structure of the source novel), the foot to Dolores “Lolita” Haze (Sue Lyon), a precocious 14-year old with whom he is obsessed. Briefly, Humbert, newly arrived in America, rents a room from Charlotte Haze (Shelly Winters), a somewhat brassy but lonely widow. Humbert is initially repelled by Charlotte’s fawning overtures, but accepts the offer of the room after seeing her beautiful teenage daughter sunning herself in the garden. Instantly smitten, he does everything he can to be around the girl, including marrying her mother. As his obsession grows, his behaviour deteriorates and he becomes increasingly possessive. Lolita becomes restless under his control, as she too has a secret. Given the permeating hebephilic sexual subtext, I am surprised that Vladimir Nabokov’s controversial novel ever made it to the screen, much less with a minor in the title role (Lyon was 14 when the film was made, a mandated change from the 12 year old in the book). The film is less explicit about the nature of the relationship than is the book but I doubt anyone would conclude that it was not sexual. There are numerous sly innuendos scattered about (Lolita going to a “sleep-over” camp called “Camp Climax” is an unsubtle example) and Humbert’s musing while writing his diary highlights his erotic obsession with “every nymphet”. Mason is superb as the deteriorating Humbert, as is Lyon as the trigger and target of his passion. Despite being manipulative, self-absorbed, and fretful at times, Shelly Winters remains sympathetic as Lolita’s mother, a lonely women shamelessly used by Humbert, whom (it is suggested) she really loves (she reads his diary, which earlier he states “only a loving wife could decipher”). I was less impressed by Peter Sellers’ Clare Quilty (a role expanded from the book), who came across more as an eccentric than loathsome. The acting, direction, script and score is uniformly excellent and my only disappointment with the film was the absence of the iconic shot of Lolita, with bright red lipstick, red heart-shaped sunglasses, and sucking on a cherry lollypop. IMO, that image makes for one of the all-time great movie posters.
