WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (1971)

MEL STUART

Plot

Roald Dahl's story about a poor boy who wins a trip round a magic chocolate factory and, like all Dahl stories, this is a moral tale with a distincly dark side to it. Gene Wilder is wonderfully cynical and sadistic as Mr Wonka and some of the sets are very psychedelic. This film is a lighter semi-musical version of the book - great for the kids.
