The movie adaptation of the novel “Lolita” was a successful film, but it completely missed getting Nobokov’s psychological story into the film. He made a huge mistake allowing Peter Sellers to help him rewrite most of the screenplay written by Nobokov himself. Peter sellers wrote his own character into scenes that did nothing much for the story and just gave himself more screen time. Scenes and characters that weren’t even a part of the original novel at all. It could have been a great film without Peter Sellers involvement. Sellers came off as quite the camera hog for that one. Just my opinion about one of Kubrick’s films.
And if you think you shouldn’t read a novel like “Lolita” then you don’t really know enough about that book.
I agree. Robert Osborn agreed. Sellers ruined the movie.
