I was about 15 years old when I saw this movie, in 1969, I think. I never saw it again but I never got it off my mind even until today. Why? because It was very funny and it was just a hilarious story and well thought out.

It tells a story where this guy has a number of girlfriends, they all found out he was cheating and decided to teach him a lesson that he couldn't refuse. Lots of laughter and hurting sides and you would keep wanting more and more.

It would still do well even today and would fit right in with today's society. I would love to see it again. It really was ahead of it's time.

Just watched a true rarity that I'd been wanting to see for some time: "Three in the Attic," from 1968. In this one, Christopher Jones, star of that same year's "Wild in the Streets," stars as Paxton Quigley, the self-styled "first casualty of the Sexual Revolution"; a good-looking lothario at a Vermont college, whose claim to fame is that he has bedded no less than 50 women before his sophomore year. He soon becomes very involved with three more: a beautiful blonde WASPy type (Yvette Mimieux); a pretty, black soul sister (Judy Pace); and a Jewish hippie (Maggie Thrett, who most viewers will remember best as Ruth from the classic "Star Trek" episode "Mudd's Women"). Trouble arises when the three gals realize that Paxton has been sleeping with all of them, and in revenge, bring the young stud up to the titular attic, hold him prisoner, and drain all his manly energies from him by feeding him nothing but meat and having nonstop sex with him. Ultimately, poor Quigley is on the point of death from being so depleted, in this pretty funny sex comedy. The film has loads of clever dialogue, is well directed by Richard Wilson, offers up many catchy tunes (by Chad and Jeremy), and in all is a lot better than I had been expecting; not as good as but on a par with "The Graduate," "Goodbye, Columbus" and other films of the era dealing with sexual liberation. My favorite line in the film comes from that hippie chick: "Do you think it's possible for a woman to be both Jewish and psychedelic at the same time?" Love it!

So much for the sexual revolution. This movie insults women, races and even gays. It doesn't mean to, it just comes naturally.

I found this on YouTube because I am a Yvette Mimeux fan but kept watching because of Christopher Jones' fabulous and beaudacious buuttocks. All four stars are for that.

It would seem to be a real shame most of those involved, from writer

Stephen Yada to Christopher Jones, never really got to do much else.

Because this uneven, smart, well acted satire is way ahead of it's time;

and still surprises. The title gimmick, which was used to advertise the movie, is really one

of the weaker sections of the film, which looks at the battle of the

sexes in a way that really does mirror it's time, while treating it's

characters with humor and affection. If you can get a copy, it's well

worth going out of your way to see. Only the mediocre pop score does not

hold up well.

This is one of the great movies of all time.... on par with = The Graduate = .... It had a major influence on teenage girls who saw it in the '60's.

We constantly joked about the guys we had locked up in our own attics! Of course, it was the other way around... Each girl had 7 or 8 guys locked in her attic, and the fact that a couple of us actually had bedrooms in the attic made the joke even funnier.

I don't know why I have not seen this film since it came out in 1968, but I really wish someone would bring it back.

Even to this day, my friends and I joke about our attics, in the same way that we joked about the Ford that was mentioned in The Graduate (of course, that reference didn't last quite as long as the "attic".)
