I invited some friends over last night and we watched the original Willie Wonka. I think it was the first time I had seen it in over two decades, maybe even since it first came out! Overall the film holds up well, though a few scenes have played better in my head then they did on screen. Wilder was great but the big surprise was the actress who played Veruca Salt -- she was truly wonderful. But who remembers Veruca calling her father's employees (and I am paraphrasing) "a bunch of twats"? Mercy! I do not believe that particular line was carried over into the remake.
