Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Special
Description
Based on the book Charlie & the Chocolate Factory by Roald
Dahl, this fantasy film, shot in Bavaria, stars Gene Wilder and became popular
with adults as well as children due to it’s surreal imagery, surprisingly dark
message and quirky, infectious music. Written by Anthony Newley and Leslie
Bricusse, the score was nominated for an Oscar in 1971 for Best Score and
includes the hits “The Candy Man” and “Pure Imagination.” Debuting on CD, this
25th anniversary edition soundtrack features digital remastering and new liner
notes. Originally released in 1971, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate
Factory was an imaginative film that drew as much inspiration from the
leftover vibes (and drugs) of the psychedelic ’60s as it did from Roald Dahl’s
fanciful children’s book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If you doubt it,
check out this special 25th anniversary edition of the original soundtrack
album, which features lyrics and music by Anthony Newley, who was a major
influence on David Bowie and whose work on this film has clearly inspired ’90s
rockers from Veruca Salt (who took their name from the spoiled rich girl) to
the Butthole Surfers (who could easily cover the sinister, trippy “Wondrous
Boat Ride”. C’mon, everybody, let’s sing: “Oompa loompa/Doomp-ity-do/I’ve got
another lesson for you….” –Jim Derogatis
