: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. . .
:35:00
. . .you know how we've always talked
about the possibility. . .
:35:03
. . .of something going
wrong with the bomb.
:35:07
The bomb, Dimitri.
:35:10
The hydrogen bomb.
:35:12
Everything wonderful
about that movie. . .
:35:16
. . .is because of the way
it was directed.
:35:19
Otherwise, I thought there were flaws
in the writing of the movie. . .
:35:24
. . .and flaws in some
of the performances. . .
:35:27
. . .but the directing of the movie
was so bravura. . .
:35:32
. . .and so superb that it just,
it was just a knockout.
:35:37
The vision and the use of music
of the opening credits...
:35:42
We knew immediately anything
could happen in this movie.
:35:56
People remember the film because it
deals with one of the darkest things. . .
