That's a very interesting idea. What makes you think so? Is it to do with Kinbote's possible real life identity as Botkin? In like a real plot analogy sort of way, or do you have specific passages which strike you as being allusions. By the way I love the three faces of Eve as well.

To the List,


This Sunday Turner Classic Movies will be broadcasting 'the Three Faces of Eve," with Joanne Woodward. I believe that along with Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde and Wilde's Dorian Gray, this film and more importantly the nonfiction book on which it is based by authors Thigpen and Cleckley, are important sources used by Nabokov in Pale Fire.


I know I am in the decided minority on this, but the movie is a great one whether or no.
