'Willy Wonka's Hidden Legal Drama: How Candy Bars Created a Masterpiece
Half a century after its release, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory has only grown in popularity, spawning numerous remakes. Brainstormed in a capitalist fever dream, author Roald Dahl, director Mel Stuart, producer David Wolper, and The Quaker Oats company (you know, the guy in the hat on the logo) birthed one of the most loved children's films ever made, largely due to performances by Gene Wilder and Peter Ostrum. The title change (based on a book named Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) should be the first hint that this production was not a run-of-the-mill adaptation.
