Mark B @Thelaser555 May 20, 2026 Suzi Kendall was a strikingly attractive woman in the 60s, but as an actress, she was totally vacuous. Her bland expression, stilted and clunky delivery of her lines and haughty but child-like manner in this flick would never have endeared her to her new 'working class' workmates at the sweet factory in a run-down part of London where she just turned up and asked for a job and got one. Kendall laughingly goes out of her way to rent the most awful bedsit, just to show her new mates that 'she's one of them....' which the brilliant Dennis Waterman (who plays Pete, the van driver) reminds her that she most definitely is not. Not surprisingly, the two row and split up at the end. When this film was released, it was regarded as cutting edge, exposing tawdry working class life and the subject of illegal abortion (at the time) Now, the movie just pokes fun at the masses as they fight, make love, and squander all their wages every Saturday night at the piss-up and singalong at the local pub.

See more May 8, 2020 I saw Up The Junction many years ago and liked the natural performances of Adrienne Posta and Maureen Lipman who acted really well. And Suzy Kendall acted well and looked great with Denns Waterman. On Facebook we have a group called (Up The Junction Film 1967 Suzy Kendall Dennis Waterman Adrienne Posta) with 583 members including Adrienne Posta and Tony Klinger Producer on the film and Sound Editor Ron Taylor. We have several interesting pictures and videos. Please take a look. See more Aug 21, 2016 Slightly dated British slice-of-life drama. See more Jun 28, 2010 Entertaining bit of drama, posh bird roughs it because she wants to make her own way in the world, without being a 'parasite'. Lots of eventful stuff going on, and very atmospheric. Music is good too. And it's fun to see some familiar faces when they were much younger. See more Dec 2, 2009 brilliant film & it sort of reminds me of the story of the Buddha in a way. See more Read all reviews
