I don’t disagree with this opinion piece however, Nabokov wrote the screenplay for the movie and got an Oscar nomination for it.
His credit was spurious. Virtually nothing of what he wrote was used in the film. He published his own screenplay later on. I actually like Kubrick’s film. The girl in the film is clearly about 16 or 17. Over the age of consent in many states back then.
And Sting got a word that rhymes with "cough".
