Up The Junction - 1968 - 7/10

Posh bird from Chelsea glides across the river to Battersea.
Finds work in a factory, rents a squalid flat, buys second hand furniture.
Ken Loach extends the working class point of view of 60’s England.
The juxtaposition of the affluent beauty amidst the lower orders is a telling contrast.
Despite a two hour length, the story seldom drags, there is simply too much to take in.
Casting is excellent in unglamorous Swinging London tale, plus there is the unfolding mystery as to why she is “slumming.”
