While still considered a classic today, Groundhog Day producer Trevor Albert recalls the tense shoot with star Bill Murray and co-writer/director Harold Ramis. The 1983 film centered on Phil Connors, a cynical TV weatherman becoming fed up with his life who finds himself stuck in a time loop on February 2 while covering the eponymous celebration in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Co-starring Andie MacDowell, Stephen Tobolowsky, Brian Doyle-Murray and Rick Overton, Groundhog Day scored widespread acclaim upon its release for its mix of wholesome themes and darker humor, with Murray and Tobolowsky's performances in particular garnering largely positive reviews.
