 Since the censors would allow nothing close to a suggestion of  pedophilia, Lolitas age had to be increased from 12 in  Nabokov, Vladimir (qv)s original novel to 14 for the film. They  also objected to a scene where Humbert Humbert was to gaze at  Lolitas picture while in bed with her mother Charlotte; in the end,  the scene was filmed with Charlotte lying fully dressed on the bed  and Humbert lying beside her wearing a robe.
