I wanted to see this again to check if it is really a lesser Kubrick as some critics believe. It is quite good really, with some excellent points: James Mason, Sue Lyon, and above all Shelley Winters are great; the scene of Shelley Winters' death is a favourite of mine. What I just can't appreciate is Sellers' place in the film: the scene outside the hotel, when he talks to Humbert without ever looking at him, is so wrong, it just doesn't work. His acting is so fake that you wonder how is it possible Humbert doesn't realize the other guy is a fake?
