Old man too old and I could not relate to him at all. At least Jeremy Irons had life to himself. Mason is a wonderful actor, but this whole story sucks, Nabokov's novel is silly and film - someting one can quickly forget. But honestly I don't recall Kubrick in it all that much, perhaps I should take another look, trying to see through the dust.

  Jeremy Irons made a much better Humbert than James Mason. Regardless, Lolita, whether one likes it or not, simply doesn't lend itself to film. Let's hope no one attempts to desecrate any other Nabokov novels (particularly my favorite, Pale Fire).
