LolitaOverviewSet in the 1950s, the film begins ''in medias res'' near the end of the story, with a confrontation between two men: one of them, Clare Quilty, drunk and incoherent, plays Chopin's Polonaises Op. 40 (Chopin) on the piano before being shot from behind a portrait painting of a young woman. The shooter is Humbert Humbert, a 40-something British professor of French literature.Release dateJune 13, 1962URL sluglolitaGenresDrameRomanceVisuelsAfficheArrière-planAucune imageIcôneAucune imageBannièreDistribution & équipeDistribution — Mrs. Starch — Humbert "Hum" Humbert — Charlotte Haze — Nurse Mary Lore — Dolores "Lolita" Haze — Clare Quilty — John Farlow — Tom — Richard T.
