Just watched the last half hour of "Groundhog Day" on AMC and was glad to see that Phil broke the curse in the final minutes once again. It was touch and go there for a while.
Spoiler alert. If you haven't seen the movie ignore the preceding paragraph.
If you enjoyed the movie be sure to listen to this commentary from Stephen Tobolowsky, the brilliant character actor who dominated the scenes in which his character appeared. "Phil? Phil Conners? It's Ned! Ned Reyerson!
Tobolowsky reveals, for example, that Bill Murray refused to leave his dressing room on the day of shooting the final bedroom scene because he didn't know what to wear. Recall that this scene was the morning when Phil wakes up to a new day with Rita in bed beside him. Harold Ramis asked the crew what they thought, and one young person who was working her first show business job said Phil and Rita should be wearing the clothes they were wearing in the scene the night before. And that's what they wore.
