EDITOR'S NOTE. On Aug.8, 1996 "Entertainment Weekly" ran an article "Girl
Trouble" by Ben Svetkey about Adrian Lyne's & writer Steve Schiff's new
Lolita film and its troubles. I have not seen the URL given by "Curious
Dragons" below, but judging by the date, I assume it refers to the Svetkey's
article-interview. The article triggered a flood of exchanges on NABOKV-L
centering around postings from Brian Walter and script writer Schiff. All
of this, including some of Svetkey's article can be found in the NABOKV-L
Archive (LOG9608 & perhaps LOG9609). "Curious Dragons (Sandy Klein

SOME DRAGONS ARE CURIOUS:
Is Mr. Lyne knocking, in "Entertainment Weekly" ("GIRL TROUBLE")
and elsewhere,
A) The published VN "LOLITA" script, now reprinted by Vintage for
all to judge, which he may have read;
B) The regurgitated Kubrick version thereof -- which VN throughly
disavowed while generously praising film's talents -- in notes
published in (A) above, but which did, after all, win an Oscar
nomination;
C) The 400 pp TS version he has never seen?
DRAGONS ALSO WONDER:
A) If it might not be smart, and incidentally sexier, to put
Miss Swain's versatility of expression, about which Lyne
"RHAPSODIZES," at the viewer's service, leaving the rest to
imagination; Dragons have good reason to believe subtle VN would
have thought so;
B) If it might not be good, at times, for some mouths to tape
shut at least a corner of themselves.
