"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.
:34:00
It scares me.
:34:01
Yes, I know the feeling.
:34:03
That held up the film for six months
because they did condemn it.
:34:07
There was a picture of Lolita
on the bedside stand. . .
:34:11
. . .so when Humbert
and his wife Charlotte were in bed. . .
:34:15
. . .they felt that Humbert was using
the picture for sexual stimulation.
:34:20
I denied that. I think that in all
fairness they were right.
:34:25
Anyway, we agreed to limit the number
of looks at that picture.
:34:30
To get a release,
Kubrick had to re-cut Lolita.
:34:34
As he later told Newsweek:
:34:36
"Had I known how severe
the limitations were. . .
:34:39
. . .I wouldn't have made it. "
:34:41
There is acclaim in the film world
for Kubrick...
:34:43
...director of Lolita,
arriving with Mrs. Kubrick.
:34:47
Lolita's strong performance
at the box office. . .
:34:50
. . .was boosted by the controversy.
:34:53
Kubrick's next film would prove
even more controversial.
:34:56
Now then, Dimitri. . .
