It was on HBO once many moons ago when I was home from college on break and in my vegetational state I watched it many times. I don't think overall it was very good but yeah, he and some of the rest of the cast did a good job.

Peter Sellers as Clare Quilty. The character's role was greatly expanded from that in the novel and Kubrick allowed Sellers to adopt a variety of disguises throughout the film. Early on in the film, Quilty appears as himself: a conceited, avant-garde playwright with a superior manner. Later, he disguises himself as various personae. First, he is an inquisitive policeman on the porch of the hotel where Humbert and Lolita are staying. Next he is the intrusive Beardsley High School psychologist, Doctor Zempf, who lurks in Humbert's front room for the purpose of persuading him to give Lolita more freedom in her after-school activities.[2] Later in the film he is an anonymous phone caller conducting a survey

Was a huge fan of Severin- didn't he sometimes use the name "O O Severin," which I guess I just realized thirty something years later is a play on "007." In avant-ILX times I thought about doing "TS: Mort Drucker vs. John Severin." RIP everybody.

My favourite moment of his is right at the end of Alfred's first clip above: where he fake-punches Hoffman out of exasperation/affection after Hoffman confesses. It's like Keaton fake-strangling his girl in The General.
