'Groundhog Day' by Ryan Gilbey (BFI Film Classics 112-page paperback)
In this engaging study, Ryan Gilbey traces Harold Ramis' film's unlikely journey from Danny Rubin's speculative script, centred on a man condemned to eternity in a small town, to its transformation into a studio classic. Drawing on fresh interviews with Rubin, Gilbey explores the inspired casting of Murray and Andie MacDowell, the film's quietly radical structure, and the delicate balance between comedy and melancholy that gives Groundhog Day its lasting power.
