The Secret Lover In The Attic

Just the first paragraph of the shocking story, told as only Wisconsinology could tell it:

Milwaukee, 1920. Dolly Oesterreich always had men in her life. Fred Oesterreich, her husband, was a hard-drinking and wealthy factory owner. What he didn't know was that there was a man, his wife's secret lover,Otto Sanhuber, living in their attic. Their relationship began in 1913, when Dolly was a housewife in her early thirties. At that time she "forcefully" seduced Sanhuber, a 17 year old employee at her husband's sewing machine factory. She began the affair by calling her husband at work to tell him that her sewing machine was broken. When Sanhuber arrived at her home to fix the machine, she was wearing only stockings and a silk robe.

In 1995 this became a Showtime Based-On-A-True-Story Made-For-TV movie Man In The Attic, starring Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser, MD!) as Sanhuber. Alas, this 1-Star classic is only available on VHS, used, but on the bright side, it's really really cheap, and since it was made for Showtime you get to see some naughty bits, briefly.
