                            Professor Humbert Humbert moved to America to devote himself to writing and 
teaching at the University of Ohio. He rents a room from a widow, Charlotte 
Haze. Soon, he falls in love with Lolita, Charlotte’s fourteen-year-old 
daughter. To be closer to Lolita, he marries her mother. But, television 
screenwriter, Clare Quilty, wants Lolita for himself… This is an entertaining and bizarre comedy, with great black humor. Vladimir 
Nabokov was nominated for the Oscar for best screenplay.
