This past Sunday, I drove the eighteen miles from the house to Woodstock, Illinois, to partake in the last day of the town's annual Groundhog Days festuival which started on February 1.
I was too late for the pancake breakfast at the Moose Lodge (where the dance/bachelor auction was held in the movie), but managed to get a seat to see the movie on the big screen at the Woodstock Theatre (where the scene with Bill Murray as Bronco Billy and his date went to see the movie "Heidi.") I found out earlier that day that his date was the wife of Chicago Bear player Gary Fencik of the Super Bowl XX champs.
From the February 2, 2023, WTAJ, Rochester, NY. "Bill Murray's 'Groundhog Day' celebrates 30th anniversary" by Bill Shannon.
ANYWAY, SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT THE MOVIE:
** Bill Murray's character, Phil Connors, evolved into a much nicer human being during the film. At times when director Harold Ramis would explain a scene, Murray would ask him: "Good Phil or bad Phil?" so he would know how to play the character.
