From the July 23, 2020, Chicago Tribune "Forty thoughts on 'Caddyshack' by Christopher Borrelli.
The movie "Caddyshack" was released 41 years ago now (40 years ago back in 2020) and tells the story of working class caddies, slobs, wiseasses, and nouveau rich who clash at a Chicago country club.
This is one of my favorite movies and I was able to watch it a short time ago. It was great then as it is now.
Here are some of Mr. Borrelli's thoughts on the movie:
** "Caddyshack" was directed by Harold Ramis, who grew up in Chicago's Rogers Park and died at his home in Glencoe in 2014. He made his career -- "Animal House," "Ghostbusters, "Stripes" -- on movies about irreverent guys facing down an establishment.
"Caddyshack" was his first directing job and was based on stories from the Murray brothers of Wilmette-- Bill, Brian, et al. They caddied public courses in Evanston and at Indian Hill Club, a private course in Winnetka.
Too Funny, Especially the Swimming Pool Scenes. --CootShack
