| Chicago native and Northshore resident writer/director Harold Ramis scored a huge career boost with the success of his 1992 film, Groundhog Day. A modern day classic, Ramis infused the film with just the right balance of sentiment, humor and fantasy. Attempting to recreate this charm in his 1996 follow up film, Multiplicity, Ramis concocted the story of a man who is so pressed for time he has himself clonedè three times. With far too much hokey interplay between leads Michael Keaton and Andie MacDowell, Multiplicity failed on a grand scale to recreate the sheer joy of Groundhog Day. Based on the poor critical and financial returns on this movie, Ramis turned away from the modern fantasy tale and focused his next movie, Analyze This, on a depressed and unhappy Mob boss' relationship with a therapist. He's also directed Bedazzled (2000), Stuart Saves His Family (1995), Club Paradise (1986), National Lampoon's Summer Vacation (1983), and Caddyshack. He has also appeared on-screen, as Dr. Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II, as well as a recent role as Rob's Dad (at least in the DVD version) of High Fidelity (2000)
