Friday 19 April: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Promoted as a family musical by Paramount Pictures, Willy

Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is more of a black comedy,

perversely faithful to the spirit of Roald Dahl's original book Char-

lie and the Chocolate Factory. Enigmatic candy manufacturer

Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) stages a contest by hiding five

golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whoever

comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka fac-

tory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy.

Tapsell), who are discovered by a talent scout (Chris O'Dowd),

and form a music group called The Sapphires, travelling to

Vietnam in 1968 to sing for troops during the war.
