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

I have strong memory of seeing an episode of Mary H in which she is distraught over her marital problems and has no one to turn to so she calls her dad. He tells her he has been watching a Claudette Colbert movie on TV that he has never seen the end of and if he doesn't watch it now he will never get a chance to see how it turns out. Mary hangs up and endures her troubles in silence, alone. RIP.
