Unfortunately, the idea of kidnapping a man and forcing him to have sex until his strength is literally sapped sounds amusing on paper, but is too far-fetched to believe; Jones never once tries to escape from his flimsy attic-prison, and far too many other logistical details are glossed over. The story is much more interesting during the first hour, when we watch a nicely told, if somewhat conventional, tale of a Casanova trying to juggle three women without any of them finding out. Fortunately, the lead actors are all appealing, and make the film &#8212; despite its flaws &#8212; easy to watch: Jones acquits himself admirably as a nice-guy Alfie; Yvette Mimieux gets to do more than simply look sexy (though she does that, too); Judy Pace is a welcome spitfire; and Maggie Thrett is appropriately wacky as a hippie Jewish girl who loves to paint flowers on skin. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Be sure not to miss the creative closing credits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Christopher Jones as Paxton Quigley<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Jones.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Jones.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-63900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Jones.jpg 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Jones-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Jones-128x96.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Jones-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Yvette Mimieux as Tobey<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Mimieux.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Mimieux.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-63901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Mimieux.jpg 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Mimieux-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Mimieux-128x96.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Mimieux-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Judy Pace as Eulice<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Pace.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Pace.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-63902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Pace.jpg 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Pace-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Pace-128x96.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Pace-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>An odd scene in which Paxton stumbles upon Eulice teaching Standard English to a classroom of children<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Teaching.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Teaching.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-63899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Teaching.jpg 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Teaching-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Teaching-128x96.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Three-in-the-Attic-Teaching-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, but film fanatics will likely be curious to check it out.
