And just like 2005's "Hard Candy" - 1962's "Lolita" also featured a very precocious and viciously calculating underage girl of just 14 who (though she was being wantonly pursued by men old enough to be her father) turned out to be (in my opinion) an even more despicable "predator" than they were. It's true. I can't begin to tell you how much this gutter-level, white-trash, Stanley Kubrick production made my skin crawl with total revulsion. And, out of all of the characters presented in this story, there wasn't even one who was in the least bit likable. It was especially Sue Lyon's haughty portrayal of the slutty, demanding, snot-nosed Lolita character (as well as Peter Seller's slimy, quirky and totally irksome Clare Quilty character) who definitely lost this contemptible picture some significant points in my books.
