Lolita description When director Stanley Kubrick released his film adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's controversial novel about a hopelessly pathetic middle-aged professor's sexual obsession with his 12-year-old stepdaughter, the ads read, "How did they ever make a film of Lolita?"

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | LOLITA Deserves Better Than This Botched Warner DVD. |
| _Lolita_ (1962) is a great movie, with a lousy, non-anamorphic DVD transfer.
You would think that Warner would get it right by the time of the third DVD release. Yet, _Lolita_ still plays with black bars all around when displayed on a widescreen TV. The non-anamorphic treatment of the THIRD _Lolita_ DVD release is typical of Warner. It seems that even Academy Award winners get the non_anamorphic treatment: The original _Driving Miss Daisy_ and _Bonnie and Clyde_ DVDs were released in a non-anamorphic format. These two titles were later re-released -- at reduced prices -- in anamorphic versions. Sometimes Warner puts its "Enhanced for widesreeen TVs" message on a DVD box, even though the enclosed DVD is non-anamorphic. The original, non-anamorphic versions of _Goodfellas_ and _JFK_ were given such false advertising, but subsequent re-releases were actually anamorphic. On the other hand, the original _Cabaret_ DVD was non-anamorphic. Now, the second DVD release of _Cabaret_ claims to be "Enhanced for widescreen TVs", but alas, the "new" DVD is the same old non-anamorphic garbage in a new box. |
