Maggie's Farm

It's been 40 years since David L. Wolper brought Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to the big screen.  His adaptation was somewhat different than the book, including a name change to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  

The book remains a staple of children's literature.  While the movie went through a remake in 2005, the original remains a classic.  It has lines that are familiar to all who have seen it, and its songs still resonate.

An interesting side note about the author, Roald Dahl.  He was a spy for Britain in the United States during World War II (along with several other well known personalities such as David Ogilvy).  He spent quite a bit of time trolling the social circles of Washington and New York City, collecting information.  During his time here, Dahl began writing and found his calling.

One hopes Charlie Bucket has managed his global empire properly and treats his Oompa-Loompas well.  I haven't seen any in Zucotti Park.
