Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Book

the differences between the book and the film, as well as some of my own thoughts on the two.

The film stars Gene Wilder as the eccentric chocolate maker, Peter Ostrum as Charlie, and Jack Albertson as Grandpa Joe. The film was released in 1971. It was not a full musical in the usual sense, featuring only six songs. Some were notably well received, including "The Candy Man Can," and "The Oompa Loompa Song." "Cheer Up, Charlie" and "I've Got a Golden Ticket" are songs are regularly edited out of TV screenings, presumably because the songs are widely (but not universally) disliked. Dahl's screenplay
