Shirley MacLaine is the bored housewife of bra factory owner Richard Attenborough. When her sewing machine breaks down, he sends repairman James Booth from the factory. She resists his initial flirtations, but eventually succumbs and they begin a torrid love affair. Instead of leaving the house, she stashes him away in their spacious attic. Weeks, months and years pass and he is still living there, having transformed the attic into a luxury apartment by using do-it-yourself books. Meanwhile, her husband is going crazy from all of the noise, which MacLaine pretends not to hear. Her lover begins to pass stock tips along to her husband, which pay off and makes him a millionaire. When discovered, he not only allows him to keep living there, but gives him the bra factory! British sex comedy is punctuated by colorful psychedelic scenes between MacLaine and Booth in which they live out their fantasies in elaborate costumes. It's all very dated and very British, but can be fun if you are in the right mood.
