. . .in another kind of version
away from the novel. . .

:32:04
. . .that is much more about the human
condition than the novel was.

:32:07
Lolita works. . .
:32:09
. . .as the very first
Stanley Kubrick film for me. . .

:32:13
. . .because I couldn't imagine
anybody else making Lolita.

:32:17
It's a comedy but it's got
serious elements.

:32:22
It's risqué. It's in your face.
:32:23
It's got big performances. . .
:32:26
. . .and it works completely.
:32:28
You're a disgusting, despicable,
loathsome, criminal fraud!

:32:33
Don't do that.
:32:35
-Can we discuss...
-Get out of my way.

:32:37
-Get out of my way!
-No. I want to talk...

:32:39
Go on, get out of my way.
:32:43
I'm leaving here today.
:32:46
You can have all of it.
:32:48
But you are never going to see
that miserable brat again!

:32:52
At a time when American cinema in the
early '60s was on the way down. . .

:32:56
. . .the studio system was finishing. . .
:32:59
. . .this was a man with authority making
you look a certain way at things.

:33:03
"When I stood Adam-naked. . . . "
:33:04
Adam-naked!
:33:07
You should be ashamed of yourself,
captain.

:33:09
"Before a federal law
and all its stinging stars. "

:33:13
Tarnation! You old horn toad.
:33:15
That's mighty pretty.
That's a pretty poem.

:33:19
"Because you took advantage. . . . "
:33:21
It's getting a bit repetitious,
isn't it?

:33:23
"Because. . . . " Here's another one:
"Because you cheated me. "

:33:27
Because you took her at an age. . .
:33:30
-. . .when young lads..."
-That's enough!

:33:33
Say, what'd you take it away for?
It was getting kind of smutty there.

:33:37
Because of its scandalous theme. . .
:33:39
. . .the film had
a crippling distribution problem.

:33:42
The Catholic Church had
their own censorship.

:33:44
If they condemned your film,
they would then send notices. . .

:33:48
. . .to their Churches, the Catholic
Churches all over the country. . .

:33:53
. . .that it would be sinful
to see this film.

:33:56
Hum, you just touch me
and I go as limp as a noodle.
