For anyone interested in Nabokov on film, go to the Internet Movie Data
Base at www.imdb.com, click on search, and enter "Nabokov". You will
find extensive information on:
Lolita (1962)
Laughter in the Dark (1969)
King, Queen, Knave (1972)
Despair (1978)
Maschenka (1986)
Lolita (1997)
Laughter in the Dark (2000)
I assume that the IMDB's focus is on movies released into the American
and international marketplace. Therefore, a Russian Mashen'ka, for
example, not released internationally, would not be listed.
I don't know of current VHS/DVD/LD copies of any of these except for the
two Lolitas. Despair was available for a while years ago on VHS.
