Tre femmine in soffitta

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.

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".)

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!

I had to give this a high rating. I ran the 16mm theater while stationed at Cape Romanzof Alaska. We were in the bottom of a volcano on the Bering Sea. My previous duty assignment was at North Truro AFS on Cape Cod. The scenes showing Provincetown, MA. made me feel so great! Not quite like being home again, but it sure was nice to see.

James Dean lookalike Christopher Jones ('Wild In The Streets') plays college boy stud Paxton Quigley who finds his life is turned around when he meets the beautiful and intelligent Tobey Clinton ('The Time Machine's Yvette Mimeux). Paxton is so smitten with her he gives monogamy a try for the first time, and everything looks fantastic. But he finds himself irresistibly drawn to vivacious newcomer Eulice (Judy Pace) and begins an affair with her. Soon after he does the same with hippie chick Jan (Maggie Thrett), and juggles all three girls, egged on by his best buddy Jake (John Beck). However, Tobey discovers the truth and convinces the other two girls to help her imprison Paxton in the attic of their dorm. The three girls then proceed to punish him by screwing him to death! 'Three In The Attic' was probably quite risque when it was released in the late 1960s, and while it was most likely just intended as a "naughty" exploitation movie, it actually holds up very well as an interesting drama about men, women and sex. Christopher Jones is just great throughout, and watching it you can't help but be a bit saddened thinking how this talented and charismatic actor's career came to a standstill after he appeared in 'Ryan's Daughter' only two years after 'Three In The Attic'. This is a very interesting and entertaining movie if you can manage to see it.
