Lolita
WELCOME TO LOLITA'S WORLD
Turner Classic Movies Music/Rhino Movie Music's deluxe Lolita CD marks the world premiere of Nelson Riddle's complete soundtrack for the Stanley Kubrick- directed 1962 film. In addition to the catchy "Lolita Ya-Ya" (embraced by Cocktail Nation lounge lizards as a kitsch classic), the 23 selections include seven previously unreleased music tracks, plus seven bits of memorable dialog.
Based on the modern classic by Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita starred Peter Sellers, Shelley Winters, and James Mason as Humbert Humbert, a middle-aged British professor of French lit who moved to a small U.S. town for a teaching job, and became infatuated with Lolita, a very young, teenage nymphet played by Sue Lyon, then 15 year old and exceptionally babe-a-licious.
As arranger of choice for The Rat Pack (he helmed many of Sinatra's swingin' albums, and the Ocean's 11 soundtrack), and composer of the the theme from the Route 66 TV series, the Grammy- and Oscar-winning Riddle was immensely popular then, and remains an icon today, more than a decade after his death in 1985.
As revealed in the liner and track notes by soundtrack expert Joseph Lanza, Riddle creatively composed and arranged music to suggest what couldn't be shown on screen in the early '60s. Riddle's work on the Lolita soundtrack spans many moods, from saccharine sweet to murderously menacing. As cheeky today as it was almost 40 years ago, Riddle's Lolita is a body of work that will never sag.
