Most people who watch "Groundhpg Day" don't know why Phil Connors is trapped in the same day. Part of the film left on the cutting room floor had schmuck Phil Connors "drop" a girlfriend back in the Pittsburgh TV station he worked at. The ex-girlfriend finds book on black magic spells and dooms him to repeat the same day until he finds true love. In the film, look for the next-to-last final scene just before he wakes up on February 3 when he kisses Rita Hanson in the park. There is the slight "tinkling" sound like a wind chime. That's the sound of the spell breaking.
Now for the hard question. How long was Phil's day? One answer I read was that he was in there for 10,000 years! Director Harold Ramis had a different estimate/s.
