Kubrick v. Nabokov

November 28th, 2010 by GST

I just read something interesting in British Chess Magazine. “Kubrick’s Rubric” by Antonio Gude: “The odd thing was that, despite them both [Kubrick and Nabokov] being chess aficionados, there is no report if them playing chess. Nabokov was a scriptwriter on the film [Lolita, from his novel] and surely must have come into contact with Kubrick. If they ever did play, we have no record of games played between them.”

We know that Kubrick did play on set against George C. Scott, Shelley Duvall, and Arliss Howard.
