This adaptation of Roald Dahl’s 1964 book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” follows a poor boy named Charlie (Peter Ostrum), who wins a ticket to tour the mysterious Willy Wonka’s (Gene Wilder) world-renowned chocolate factory. Although Dahl is credited with writing the movie’s screenplay, he ultimately disowned it because of the added musical numbers and changes to his source material.
