Publisher's Synopsis
The original movie of Roald Dahl's classic novel caught the imagination of millions with its wild colours and astonishing sets. With crazy pre-Spielbergian special effects and an epochal performance in Gene Wilder's now legendary Willy Wonka, it is also a landmark in the history of cinema with an iconic longevity matched only by The Wizard of Oz. Director Mel Stuart teams up with film writer Josh Young to take readers on a journey through the making of the movie. Features more than 100 lavish photographs of the production.
