On Saturday 8th April, Film at the Frazer presents Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Chocolate Heaven.
Kickstart your Easter holidays with a trip to chocolate heaven with this family favourite film starting Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka.Starring Gene Wilder in the title role, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory may not be the most faithful Roald Dahl adaptation to hit the big screen, but there’s a strong argument that it’s the best. Even Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, with their 2005 release Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, couldn’t come close to this 1971 musical version.
Even nearly four decades later, it’s a surprisingly dark yet ultimately utterly joyful film, as Charlie Bucket finds his golden ticket and gets to join four gruesome children on a tour of the factory of the film’s title. What’s more, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is packed with toe-tapping, memorable musical numbers, a terrific cast of young performers, and a memorable lead performance from Wilder. His Willy Wonka is a complex creation, veering unpredictably between likeable and quite sinister. And it’s a performance that sticks in the mind long, long after the credits have rolled.
Admission is £3 and tickets are available on the door. For any enquiries please call 07835 927965. Doors will open at 10:30 and the film starts at 11am.
On the afternoon of 8th April we will also be showing Calendar Girls.
Film at the Frazer has been made possible through a grant from Harrogate Borough Council’s Small Grants Scheme with the aim of providing affordable cultural, social and intergenerational activities for the residents of Knaresborough.
