This is my all time favorite Peter Sellers scene. From the 1962 version, the best one, of “Lolita,” we see Humbert Humbert searching for Clare Quilty in Quilty’s mansion. Humbert has come to kill him for allowing Lolita to drift from his obsessively sexual grasp toward a normal life with a blue collar, pedestrian guy her own age. Listen to the desperate, death gyrations and patter of Sellers as James Mason closes in.
