Up for the Cup

The film follows a gang of children who, unable to secure tickets for the local Cup Final, construct a viewing platform in a tree. This tree is located near the garden of a hostile neighbor, leading to a series of comedic events and misunderstandings. The narrative captures the essence of childhood adventure and the lengths kids will go to enjoy a big event.

With its release in 1971, Up for the Cup captures a specific era of British children's cinema. Collectors of children's films or those interested in the Children's Film Foundation will find this title particularly relevant. The film features performances by Kay Skinner and Steven Wallen, who contribute to the lighthearted and chaotic atmosphere of the story.
