Sorry, Speak Memory is in the same category as Pale Fire, ADA, and the Gift:
"Books By Vladimir Nabokov That Cannot be Successfully Made Into Motion
Pictures." (This sounds like a proposed entry in VN's proposed dictionary
of definitions needing single words to comprise them.)

A search of the Copyright Office computerized data base (chiefly 1978- )
revealed only one non-Lolita screenplay registered for a Nabokov
work: Laughter in the Dark, unpublished screenplay by one Laszlo
Papas, registered in 1994. With the right screenplay,
Merchant/Ivory could do wonders with Speak Memory.
