Came here to post this link as well. I remembered loving the opening scene as a kid. After reading this on Letters of Note a few years back it gave me a whole new appreciation for the genius of Gene's portrayal.

To be sure, this scene doesn't come until like 30min into the movie! :) The first act is all the poor Charlie and golden ticket stuff.
