SYNOPSIS

Lolita, the most controversial classic novel of the 20th century, was adapted by Adrian Lyne into one of the day's most controversial films. Hugely successful in Europe, Lyne's Lolita made headlines in the U.S. when the major studios flinched at its risqu￯﾿ﾽ content and refused to distribute it. The result is a censored version of the film. The only way to see the movie as it was meant to be seen is to peek beneath the covers of this book, Stephen Schiff's screenplay with an introduction by Director Adrian Lyne and a foreward by actor Jeremy Irons.
