# How Did They Ever Make A Movie Of Lolita?: Stanley Kubrick | The Plot Thickens (S7 E5) | TCM

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by Turner Classic Movies.

Stanley adapts the most shocking book of its time, a purported love story between a middle-aged man and a 12 year-old girl named Lolita. To escape censors, Stanley shoots the movie in England. But it still ends up stirring plenty of controversy, which propels it to become a major hit.

STANLEY traces Stanley Kubrick’s journey from a curious Bronx teenager, first inspired by a camera gifted to him by his father, to a visionary director who redefined the art of filmmaking. Across his career, Kubrick pushed boundaries, challenged censorship, and pursued an uncompromising level of creative control that shaped landmark films including Lolita, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, and Eyes Wide Shut. The Plot Thickens is the award-winning documentary podcast from Turner Classic Movies, focusing on the movies and the people who made them.
