...meantime, the girl who is to become the great love of Yurii Zhivago's life, Larisa (Lara) Feodorovna Guishar, is being schooled in a very different way. In her mid-teens, she is seduced by a middle-aged lawyer lecher named Komarovsky. The characters are easily seen as symbols. Komarovsky plainly stands for the corruption of the old Czarist regime, while Lara may be Mary Magdalene or Russia herself. And what of Yurii Zhivago? He too stands for Russia. He also stands for martyrdom (Critic Edmund Wilson notes that Yurii means George and perhaps suggests St. George, martyred under...
...Hollywood make a movie about the love affair between a psychopathic middle-aged lecher and a twelve-year-old nymphet? When they bought Vladimir Nabokov's bestselling novel Lolita (TIME, Sept. 1), Director Stanley Kubrick and Producer James B. Harris gambled $150,000 that they will find an answer.

Older brother Frank, acting head of the family, is a canny millionaire-in-the-making and a guilt-ridden lecher who loses successive mistresses to his wife's beagle-eyed sleuthing. Dave cannot stand the pompous Philistinism of Frank and his circle, gravitates toward Parkman's lower depths, a kind of Mermaid Tavern setting where the young toughs drink, brawl and frolic with the "pigs" who work at the brassiere...
...sick, I gave him the name of an analyst, and he went." Another chap who still has an idée fixe about him, complained Brando, is Playwright Tennessee Williams, who cannot seem to accept the fact that Marlon is not at all like brutal Stanley Kowalski, the slobbish lecher played by Brando on both Broadway and the screen in Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. Brando's claim: a clear case of mistaken identity. Mumbled Marlon to Truman: "Tennessee has made a fixed association between me and Kolwalski. I mean, we're friends and he knows that...
