Three in the Attic is a 1968 American comedy-drama film directed by Richard Wilson and starring Christopher Jones and Yvette Mimieux, with Judy Pace and Maggie Thrett. Nan Martin, John Beck, and Eve McVeagh appear in supporting roles. Jones plays Paxton Quigley, a lothario who swears his fidelity to all three of the women he is dating, each of whom is unaware of his deception. When they learn the truth about Paxton, the women lure him into a college dormitory attic, where they each take turns attacking Paxton sexually in order to punish him.

Production

The film began as a screenplay by Stephen Yafa called Paxton Quigley's Had the Course which won a Writers Guild of America award for best student script in 1964. Yafa was then 23 years old and studying a Masters in Playwriting at Carnegie Tech.

In November 1967 AIP announced they had purchased the script and Richard Wilson would direct.

Filming started in February 1968 by which time the title had changed to Three in the Attic. It was the film debut of John Beck. Much of Three in the Attic was filmed at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The campus scenes depict Carolina's Polk Place, Kenan Dorm, and the administrative South Building in particular.

The location for the Zeta Chi house is actually the Alpha Delta chapter house of Alpha Tau Omega, located at 303 East Franklin Street in Chapel Hill. Scenes are shot in front of the house, in its Great Hall, and in the house's basement, also known as the "Cave".

An additional scene was also filmed in the attic of the Graham House at 115 Battle Lane, a few blocks from the Alpha Delta house.
