I hadn't viewed this film in years until yesterday. The opening is truly something. Peter Sellers is a hoot and a mess and a wonder. A marvelous train wreck.
Unfortunately much of the rest of the film doesn't quite measure up to the opening.
Lolita (1962): The first 10 minutes of the movie
Humbert Humbert, a divorced British professor of French literature, travels to small-town America for a teaching position. He llows himself to be swept into a relationship with Charlotte Haze, his widowed and sexually famished landlady, whom he marries in order that he might pursue the woman's 14-year-old flirtatious daughter, Lolita, with whom he has fallen hopelessly in love, but whose affections shall be thwarted by a devious trickster named Clare Quilty.
