some possible spoiler . i just attend a fabulous double bill at the american cinematheque in los angeles and feature wild in the street ( one of my all time favorite guilty pleasure ) and three in the attic . actor larry bishop be there to discuss both film and to talk about christopher jones and who he hint be actually in the theater somewhere watch the film . i haven not see attic since the mid 80 and have keep an eye out for it ever since and to no avail . i have often wonder why and with street cult status and christopher jones a tarantino icon and this film hadn not be release on dvd . oddly and i have remember it a something much more exploitative and owe probably to the plot line that stand out 3 woman lock a guy in an attic and almost pleasure him to death . what surprise me most about the film be the maturity and quality of the dialogue . whereas many of aip film of the period stress exploitation over multidimensional character depth and dialogue and attic be actually handle with a surprising degree of investigation into the aftermath of the sexual revolution . i also find the romance between jones and ethereal beauty yvette mimeux to be entirely believable and sweet and and ultimately emotionally painful for the character . scene that take place in provinceown and when they first live together and rival similar scene in love story and carry the naturalness of the escaped lobster scene in annie hall . there be actually time spent get to know the couple . yvette say couple be suppose to fight . how come we never fight . so he throw a dish on the floor and then hand one to her to do the same . very cute . surprise abound . yvette father reaction upon discover that his daughter be live in sin be classic . he understand jones side of thing . the female dean of the college smoke a pipe and understanding yvette side of thing . jones have trouble bed the hippie chick so he tell her he be gay but he turn to the camera so we can see the expression of hope and fabrication on his face . no and the film be not perfect but it certainly well act and well write and well shot and it no more dated than the graduate or easy rider . the new england location be utilize well and attic have one of the best end title sequence i have ever see . i would not give it away in case you be ever surprise by this film and but it hilarious and completely original . eulice be a bit of a stereotype but she be a strong woman which make her appealing . and of course there christopher jones . for my money and one of the great loss in cinema be his departure from the screen . a i watch the naturalness of his performance and and his johnny depp or james dean good look and i spent much of the film see him in other role of the 70 . he could have easily pull off cuckoo nest or deerhunter or serpico . bishop tell u that he be about to begin direct a quentin tarantino produce biker film and that he hop to bring christopher jones back to the big screen and a he do when direct mad dog time . i be keep my finger cross . the american cinematheque traditionally find the best copy of a film available for their screening and in some case and the only surviving print . the film they screen be in pristine condition until the last two or three reel and when much of the color have fade so that everything have a pink tone . perhaps this be why a dvd release of the film hasn not happen yet . such a shame if this film be lose to time . if you ever get a chance to see three in the attic and check it out . very enjoyable .
