Caddyshack - behind the scenes
 

Saw a fantastic show on the Bio channel last night on the makin gof Caddyshack.
Did you know that Bill Murray had NO written lines? He was only available to shoot for 6 days and they made all his bits up on the fly.
The whole crew lived on a hotel on the site of the golf course. Every night was a booze/drug fest. Could you imagibne hanging out with Rodney Dangerfield, ted knight and Chevy Chase????
The whole premise of the movie changed and everyone began improvising and took over the show. Amazing stuff.

One of the most heavily and frequently quoted movies among my friends and I. It's one of those movies that I stop to watch whenever I see it while flipping through the channels.

I never knew this about Caddy Shack. It does not surprise me,its how comedians roll. We all know about all the improv in Animal House,and I once read that all of Robin Williams's on air rants in Good Morning Viet Nam were not scripted.All improv.

There was a show on Bill Murray last weekend. He's got a reputation for being difficult and has become increasingly reclusive. Talented guy.

Joe,
I have read that Murray is much like Jonathan Winters in the aspect that every now and then they need some mental "maintainance".

Winters did time in institutions a couple of times over his career.
