Auction History Result 1b017 LOLITA die-cut standee '62 Kubrick, sexy Sue Lyon in heart-shaped sunglasses w/lollipop! Date Sold 2/4/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Die-Cut Movie Standee (measures 32 1/2" x 58 1/4") (Learn More) Stanley Kubrick's Lolita, the classic 1962 Stanley Kubrick English/U.S. tale-of-a-middle-aged-man-obsessed-with-a-teenage-girl melodrama ("How did they ever make a movie of Lolita?"; "aged for the movie due to censorship problems!"; "For persons over 18 years of age"; "Screenplay by Vladimir Nabokov based on his novel 'Lolita'"; it is very rare for a writer of a great work of literature to also write the screenplay) starring James Mason (as Professor Humbert Humbert), Shelley Winters (as Charlotte Haze), Peter Sellers ("as Quilty"), Sue Lyon (in the title role; billed as "Introducing Sue Lyon as 'Lolita'"), and Gary Cockrell. Note that there was no way in 1962 that Stanley Kubrick could have had a 12 year old girl play Lolita (as she was in Nabokov's novel). So instead he cast Sue Lyon, who was just shy of 16 when the movie was released, and that certainly changed aspects of the novel. The movie was remade in 1997 with Dominique Swain, who was just shy of 17 when the movie was filmed, and it is a virtual certainty that there will never be a movie based on it with an actual 12 year old girl.

There is a roughly circular hole near the top of the standee in the background area below the "e" of "movie" and slightly affecting the second "l" of "Lolita". There are "bumps", tears, and some small areas of paper loss around the edges of the standee, and it was originally folded over the center. There are two circular areas on the back of the top of the standee that originally had something attached to them that allowed it to be stood up and displayed, but that is long gone.
