Growing up in the early '60s this was a film that was on the "banned for teens " list in our town. Once it hit the "indecent " list, Lolita had a target painted on it. After watching this film as an adolescent, I recall thinking how utterly stupid one man could be in his life. I never ever figured out the bathtub scene after Shelly Winters suicide? I walked away thinking that Lolita was "banned for teens" because it protected the adults and not the kids so much.. As I grew some I wondered why an actor like George Mason would accept such a role? A pretty pathetic film after all the hype pointed right at the adolescents.
