About this product

Product Information

Tired of her comfortable life in Chelsea, Polly (Suzy Kendall, TO SIR WITH LOVE) decides to go 'slumming' in Battersea to see how the other half lives. She soon settles into her new digs, gets a job at a factory, and makes some friends. When one of those friends accidentally falls pregnant, Polly is awakened to the reality that abortion is illegal and can only be gotten through shady back-street dealings. Controversial at the time of its release due to the uncomfortable subject matter, UP THE JUNCTION presents a gritty, unappealing view of working class life in Britain, and calls to mind such kitchen sink dramas as Mike Leigh's VERA DRAKE and SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. Based on the novel of the same name by Nell Dunn.

    Good title for....

    A middle class girl goes to live amongst the working class. She takes a job in a factory working alongside a lot of coarse women. But she finds them more real than her own class. It's a good well made film about life in the sixties with Kendall and Waterman turning in fine performances.

    I remember watching this film years ago so when I saw it being sold on eBay​ I had to buy it. I hoped the quality would be good and my money wouldn't be wasted. I wasn't disappointed. The disc and packaging were in fantastic condition and I am so happy with my purchase. Exactly as described, Thankyou.

  • Entertaining for 60s UK cinema lovers

    I love cheesy 60s cinema pieces and this was right up my street. It attempts to be a bit "deeper" than your usual popular British films of the time, by tackling the subjects of class and abortion. However, it doesn't really scratch beneath the surface too much. But, still entertaining and a good watch.

  • Great Film and Good Entertainment

    Great film reflecting the nineteen sixties and the early days of well known film and TV stars. The film revolved Poly (Susy Kendall) and her exploits with the rougher side of life.

  • Classic film

    A classic film that I really enjoyed, despite not much caring for films. The DVD, along with the book, made a delightful birthday gift for a relative.
