Lolita

While making Spartacus, both Kubrick and Harris found out about a new book called Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. When they received a copy in the office, they were so excited to read it that Harris cracked the hardback spine and, as he read a page, would rip it out and hand it to Kubrick. When they finished, they knew they had to make it into a movie.

That’s so adorable.
