Product description

Based on Nell Dunn's iconic tale of life in London's swinging sixties, Up the Junction is a memorable slice of British cinema starring Suzy Kendall (Tales That Witness Madness) as Polly and Dennis Waterman (TV's The Sweeney) as her hard-up boyfriend, Pete. The tale is of a bored, young party girl who decides to cast off her affluent Chelsea lifestyle to move to the industrialized ghetto of Battersea. In search of realism, Polly takes a factory job where she befriends sisters Rube (Adrienne Posta) and Sylvie (Maureen Lipman) and moves into a rundown apartment in the area. She soon discovers the seedier side of life in an impoverished world of crime, desperation and questionable morality-a side of life that everyone but Polly is desperately trying to leave behind.

How life can come crashing down

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2019

I remember watching this film years ago. The story of a rich girl wanting to find out how the other half lived. She goes to a very poor area, gets a job in a factory, meets girls who worked there. Very good acting from a very young Maureen Lipman and Adrienne Posta. The rich girl finds a boyfriend, ably played by Dennis Waterman, he shows her the seedier part of living there. A great film, I enjoyed it very much

Classic British masterpiece

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2021

Verified Purchase

This film certainly takes me back to those heady, dearly remembered days of the 1960s with its mix of comedy, social message and tragedy. There's a London here that's long gone and has now become an ugly mishmash of rediculous high rises.
Dennis Waterman, Suzy Kendall and the wonderful Adrienne Posta (great in 'Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush' as well), make this an unforgettable film.

Yorkie 1950

Supplied as described

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 April 2019

Verified Purchase

This DVD was supplied still encased in its original wrapper - new condition. I was highly satisfied with the product as I had been searching for a copy of this film for several years since seeing it multiple times in different languages across the world. Depicting life in London's Clapham Junction during the late 1960's, it is a must see, but which is unlikely to be shown on UK TV due to political correctness and or subject matter. Very impressed with the product and the supplier. Thank You.

Suzy Kendall and Dennis Wateran show You Can't Always Get What You Want.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2015

Verified Purchase

A mere 40 years or more had passed since I last saw this film. What I saw this time however, through slightly older eyes, was a classic of its time. If you like rock sollid British drama then I recommend highly you give this a view. It hails great performances from the two leading roles played by a young Dennis Waterman and the much under rated Suzy Kendall. It disects, analyses and concludes the differences between the higher and lower levels of social classes at the time of the late 1960s in so called 'Swinging London'. The lovely Adrienna Posta plays here role well too as the naive yet loyal friend who is all too often taken for a ride. I'm sure I caught a brief glimpse of a very young Susan George in the very minor role of factory girl. It is a thouroughly engaging drama and social statement of its time, many aspects of which are still true today. It doesn't to rely on effects, sets, or sex to sell itself, just pure dialogue. A great British drama, with a great British Cast...10 out of 10 for entertainment value. At the right price, get it if you can.

London in a time capsule

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2008

One of the most insightful, thought provoking, astute and artistic British movies ever made. And for lovers of London on film, this movie is a must to own, as it portrays Battersea with a real passion, and has some very artistic camera work. It is a very spirited piece of work and you sense that everyone in it believes in it, and isn't just in it for the fame or the money. It is very much a film of its era, and it may be hard for young 20somethings now to relate to, because who talks about the class system and how it affects people's lives now? This was a very 1960s subject, with a lot of radically minded young graduates having had their lives changed by discovering the works of Marx and Gramsci at Univerity and their idealism was one of the main catalysts for the whole swinging 60s scene.

Julie Christie lookalike Suzy Kendall plays the posh young idealist who follows her dream of leaving her stuffy and over privileged life in Chelsea to slum it among the 'more real', 'more alive' people of downmarket Battersea. Her resulting journey looks both nostalgic and other worldly to us now, and perhaps it was laid on a bit thick with the class divide thing and the experiencing real life stuff, but this WAS a different era to today. So it romanticises the lives of down at heel but good hearted Londoners somewhat, and maybe even overstates the effects of the class divide a little but it does make for a moving film experience. Has some fantastically arty scenes, such as the courting scene in the half demolished house where they look out through the rubble at London with an orange sunset. It is both very astute and faintly naive, and really bigs up the idealism of Suzy Kendall's character, who is overall a very believable 1960s character. The town of Chelsea is refered to as though it's almost a mythical Camelot that's hidden Kendall away from the real life she longs for, and it builds on this fairytale image by pointing the camera across the Thames towards Chelsea, but rightly doesn't go there.

With an evocative 60s score, career making performances from several now very familiar actors including a breathtakingly good Maureen Lipman, some great dialogue, some classic shots of London and some social issues given the social realism treatment-1960s style, Up the Junction is one of the most memorable and unique British films out there on DVD.
