Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a 1971, Academy Award nominated motion picture starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. It is based on the 1964 children's book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by British author Roald Dahl. The film opened to generally well received reviews from critics upon its opening in 1971, but it was only a low commercial success, however over the years the film has developed into one of the most beloved, well known family films ever made—and despite its age, and original creative intent as a musical cinematic fable for children—it has also since grown into a major cult classic with both children and adults.

Roald Dahl [British Author C.E. 20 th Century]Born: 13 September 1916 Died: 23 November 1990

Birthplace: Llandaff, Wales

Best known as: The author of Charlie and the Chocolate FactoryQuirky and outlandish tales like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory made Roald Dahl a popular children's author of the 20th century. World War II interrupted his early career as a salesman for Shell Petroleum in Africa; Dahl joined the Royal Air Force as a pilot, saw action, and ended up as a liaison in Washington, D.C. There he met the author C.S. Forester, who encouraged Dahl to write about his war experiences. Most of Dahl's early tales were short stories for adults, often alarmingly macabre and with O. Henry-style twists. In the 1960s he began to write children's books; his first, James and the Giant Peach, was published in 1961. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the tale of a poor urchin who wins a tour of the magical candy factory of Willy Wonka, was published in 1964. It became Dahl's best-known book and was made into a feature film in 1971 and again in 2005. Dahl's many other books include Danny The Champion of the World (1975), The BFG (1982) and Matilda (1988).Extra Info: Dahl married the actress Patricia Neal in 1953; they were divorced in 1983, and he married Felicity Crossland the same year... The song "The Candy Man," popularized by Sammy Davis, Jr., was written for the film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... The rock band Veruca Salt was named for an unpleasant little girl from the same story... Dahl scripted the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice and co-wrote the 1968 film of another Ian Fleming book, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

"Mr. Willy Wonka can make marshmallows that taste of violets, and rich caramels that change colour every ten seconds as you suck them, and little feathery sweets that melt away deliciously the moment you put them between your lips. He can make chewing-gum that never loses its taste, and sugar balloons that you can blow up to enormous sizes before you pop them with a pin and gobble them up. And, by a most secret method, he can make lovely blue birds' eggs with black spots on them, and when you put one of these in your mouth, it gradually gets smaller and smaller until suddenly there is nothing left except a tiny little DARKRED sugary baby bird sitting on the tip of your tongue."

~Grandpa Joe

"Listen, I'm an old man. I'm much older than you think. I can't go on for ever. I've got no children of my own, no family at all. So who is going to run the factory when I get too old to do it myself? Someone's got to keep it going - if only for the sake of the Oompa-Loompas. Mind you, there are thousands of clever men who would give anything for the chance to come in and take over from me, but I don't want that sort of person. I don't want a grown-up person at all. A grown-up won't listen to me; he won't learn. He will try to do things his own way and not mine. So I have to have a child. I want a good sensible loving child, one to whom I can tell all my most precious sweet-making secrets - while I am still alive."

~Willy Wonka
