I remember when I was a kid and this movie came on TV - it was a real treat.

I liked the book a lot better than the movie ; how Charlie Bucket's Dad worked at the toothpaste factory, screwing the lids onto the tubes. LOL

Dr.Peter Ostrum was never a GMP..he was an animal doctor.

Some trivia about this wonderful movie. (1) The Roald Dahl children's book was entitled "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", not Willy Wonka. The producers of the film elected not to use the word "Charlie" in the title of the movie because at the time (1971) the word "Charlie" was slang for Chinese soldiers who were fighting the US and its allies in Vietnam. Rather than inflame the Chinese, the producers simply changed the name. (2) Roald Dahl hated this movie, so much that he refused to allow the producers the rights to a film version of the book's sequel, "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator". I read that book - it stinks. (3) Peter Ostrow, who played Charlie, hated the experience of making the movie and he never made another film of any kind, either in theaters or on TV. He is now a retired physician living in Canada. (4) The fantastic Futurama episode "Fry and the Slurm Factory" is a great sendup of this movie.

Or..as one film reviewer has stated for the former website.."Kiddie Matinee".."Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory"is miles ahead of the forgetable Tim Burton remake starring:Johnny Depp.

Just another example of the Original being better than the remake!

I've seen the remake "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory"that Mr.Tim Burton directed and that Mr.Johnny Depp..starred in as"Willy Wonka". All that I can about this remake is..this..the less that is said about this film..the better.

Hollywood attempted to "update" this concept, but, in the immortal words of Mr. Wonka, "...one should never doubt what one is not sure about" if memory serves me.

I remember seeing "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" at The Lowe's New Rochelle,N.Y. Movie theater back in the summer of 1971.
