Up the Junction is a 1968 British film directed by Peter Collinson and starring Dennis Waterman, Suzy Kendall, Adrienne Posta, Maureen Lipman, Liz Fraser, Queenie Watts, Hylda Baker, Michael Gothard, Alfie Bass, Aubrey Morris, Billy Murray, and Mike Reid. It is based on the book of the same name by Nell Dunn and was adapted by Roger Smith. Polly Dean (Suzy Kendall) gives up a privileged life in Chelsea and moves to a working class community in Battersea where she takes a job in a confectionery factory in an attempt to distance herself from her moneyed upbringing and learn to make a living for herself. She becomes friends with two working class girls and forms a relationship with a working class boy who envies her access to an easy life and is frustrated by her denial of it. less
