Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2008-02-08 10:44	Filmed mostly in England, with second unit filming in the US. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0056193/locations
sixcyl ◊ 2008-02-11 08:05	Very good film based on famous W.Nabokov novel... not very "correct" subject Dolores "Lolita", played by the pretty Sue Lyon some alternative transports Aircraft seen in this film at: http://www.impdb.org/index.php?title=Lolita -- Last edit: 2011-01-23 18:51:40
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2008-02-11 09:23	It's amazing that they thought that a few American cars with false number plates and a tin box with "US Mail" could disguise a quintessentially English back street! -- Last edit: 2008-02-11 10:23:21

Grover Road, Watford. Supposed to be a poor New York neighbourhood. Lolita shot-by-shot: http://idyllopuspress.com/idyllopus/film/lolita_toc.htm

Lolita shot-by-shot: http://idyllopuspress.com/idyllopus/film/lolita_toc.htm Actually, some of the UK locations were suprisingly convincing. This would be one. But the post about mailboxes and a couple of American cars parked on the street in one sequence is an observation I had as well. The chimneys, the roof design and the narrow street were simply too English. But it works OK considering Kubrick only expected the average moviegoer to watch it once at the theatre, not multiple times, let alone with the ability to stop motion and screen grab to deconstruct his work. Overall, I thought he did a remarkable job in creating Vermont-on-Thames.

In the summer of 76 it had been left empty and was used as a summer camp for deprived kids from Lambeth - one of the poorest districts in London. How do I know? I was a volunteer helper - my first and only experience as a social worker.

Gamer ◊ 2025-12-05 14:49	Helge is apparently a male name. I thought Helge Schneider was a woman all this time.
