This Is My Street

Synopsis

Ian Hendry, June Ritchie, John Hurt and future Randall and Hopkirk stars Annette Andre and Mike Pratt feature among an outstanding cast in This Is My Street – a mid-sixties realist drama from noted director Sidney Hayers.

Jubilee Close, a drab street of decaying houses in London’s Battersea, is home to a cross section of working class families. Yearning to escape from this depressing environment is the pretty, ambitious Margery Graham; the victim of an enforced marriage, she is tied to a lazy, boorish husband and young daughter, Cindy. Margery lives next door to her widowed mother who, in order to make ends meet, has taken in a lodger, Harry – a slick, unscrupulous salesman with a roving eye and a more-than-neighbourly interest in Margery.
