"Up the Junction" is a 1968 British film directed by Peter Collinson and starring Dennis Waterman, Maureen Lipman, Suzy Kendall, Liz Fraser, Michael Gothard, Alfie Bass, Aubrey Morris, Billy Murray and Mike Reid. It is based on the book of the same name "Up the Junction" by Nell Dunn and was adapted by Roger Smith. With a soundtrack by Manfred Mann it vividly captured the feel of what it was like to live in that decade in a similar manner to another film of the era, "Alfie".

Plot summary

A girl (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 factory. She becomes friends with two working class girls there and has a relationship with a working class boy (Dennis Waterman).

The film was controversial at the time of its release because it dealt with the theme of abortion.
