And if Nabokov didn't take at least some of his inspiration for Humbert Humbert from Charles Boyer's performance in this dark, creepy drama of sexual yearning and betrayal, you'll wonder whether it didn't at least have some subliminal influence on James Mason and Stanley Kubrick. It's a great story and surprisingly modern in its focus on one bright, sensitive little girl lost in a world of blockheaded adults who have everything but her best interests on their minds. Boyer is well cast as the gorgeous but clueless object of his poor constant nymph's affection, and Joan Fontaine does her usual Jane Eyre/second Mrs. De Winter routine just as effectively as ever. It's a shame that the lusty entrepreneur Jacob Birnbaum was deracinated into the prissy Fritz Bercovy in this film. It would have been fun to see Peter Lorre actually playing an out-and-out Jew for once.
