`~John Doe~`
Edit cast list for:
Groundhog Day (1993)?
Trivia:
Director `~6080~` originally wanted `~1444~` for the lead role, but decided against it, saying that Hanks was "too nice". When Phil and Rita are throwing cards into the hat, Phil advises Rita to "be the hat". This is an ad-libbed reference by `~5989~` to @%Caddyshack%@ (also directed by `~6080~` and starring Murray), in which `~4241~`'s character advises the main character to "be the ball" while tutoring him on golf. The French poem Phil recites in the German restaurant was written by `~6303~`, based on the lyrics of `~Jacques Brel~`'s @#Bachelor's Dance#@. Translated into English the poem reads: The girl I will love / is like a fine wine / that gets a little better / every morning. According to director `~6080~`, most of the times when he tried to explain a scene to `~5989~`, Murray would interrupt and ask, "Just tell me - good Phil or bad Phil?" Early drafts of the script explained the cause of Phil Connors' weird experience: a disaffected ex-lover called Stephanie cast a spell on him to teach him a lesson. `~5989~` was bitten by the groundhog twice during shooting. @##Premiere##@ voted this movie as one of @#The 50 Greatest Comedies Of All Time#@ in 2006. The interiors of `~5989~`'s room at the bed and breakfast were filmed in an empty warehouse in Cary, Illinois. The only times the crew entered the actual house at all were to turn on lamps for the proper lighting effects needed for the exterior shots. In contrast, the scenes at the piano teacher's home were indeed filmed inside the actual house, right in the front room as it appears in the film. Not filmed in Punxsutawney, but actually in Woodstock, Illinois (just 45 miles from `~5989~`'s hometown of Wilmette). There is a small plaque that reads "`~5989~` stepped here" on the curb where Murray continually steps into a puddle. `~5989~` and `~6080~` have both been honorary grand marshals for the Groundhog Day celebrations in Punxsatawney, PA.
