Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a 1971 American musical fantasy movie directed by Mel Stuart. It stars Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka and Jack Albertson as Grandpa Joe. It is a movie version of the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.

Filming took place in Munich in 1970. It was released by Paramount Pictures on June 30, 1971. The movie became highly popular in part through repeated television airings and home entertainment sales.
