As we always say, we always find an excuse to Rewind & Review. The Roald Dahl novel “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (1964) celebrates its 55th anniversary this year. So here we are talking about the film adaptation – Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Directed by Mel Stuart, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory tells the story of Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) as he finds a Golden Ticket and visits Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory with four other children from around the world. Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) is an eccentric and mysterious recluse who resides in his factory in order to keep his Wonka branded recipes a secret. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a family fantasy comedy film with musical numbers throughout. We’ve all seen this mouth watering classic – but how does it hold up almost 50 years later?
