Up The Junction (DVD)

Badly dated and rather silly story about a posh Chelsea girl who goes slumming over the river and gets a job in a grotty factory, with an apartment to match. A likely story! Although made during the "Swinging Sixties", the film's sleazy situations and characters are more like something out of Dickens. Dennis Waterman is the petulant love interest, with Suzy Kendall as the Rolls-Royce girl. If you keep a sharp eye open you'll see Susan George in an early role. Best thing about a tired film is Hylda Baker as an abortionist.

great example of 1960s london the sounds the fashion and what life was really like many of its stars went on to do bigger things

A great insight into 1960s London. Well acted and directed in an arty manner that must have been a major inspiration for Quadrephinia. A must veiw for any student studying 60s youth culture and the real 60s in Britain, which in many ways resembles the 40s as moderisation was not really touching the working clases yet.

I BOUGHT THIS FILM AS I HAD SEEN IT ON TV YEARS AGO. AND COULDNT FIND IT THEN I CAME ACROSS IT ON EBAY AND DECIDED TO BUY IT.

LOVELY MUSIC AND ACTING THROUGHOUT IT WAS MADE IN 1968. BUT IS GREAT HOW YOU SEE THE WAY LIFE WAS IN 1960'S LONDON.

THE FILM IS ABOUT A RICH GIRL WHO WANTS TO LIVE LIKE THE GIRLS SHE SEES WORKING IN THE FACTORIES. SHE LEAVES HER RICH EXSISTENCE TO BECOME A NORMAL WORKING CLASS GIRL. BUT WITH HER BEAUTY & POSH ACCENT SOME PEOPLE CANT SEE PAST THIS.

SHE FALLS IN LOVE WITH PETER WHO WANTS TO BE ANYTHING BUT POOR.AND HE WANTS EVERYTHING SHE HAS LEFT BEHIND. SOMETHING POLLY DOESNT WANT.

I WONT SPOIL THE FILM OR THE ENDING BUT IT IS LOVELY FILM HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
