How log did it take Bill Murray's character Phil Connors to learn to play the piano in "Groundhog Day"?

!!Answer

How long is Phil actually stuck?

"There's been some debate about how long Bill Murray’s character is in his looping limbo. Director Harold Ramis originally said 10 years, then revised it to 30-40 years, saying it would take Phil that long to learn everything he does, like becoming an expert pianist (Murray actually had a piano double for the close-ups). But in the original screenplay, he was supposed to be stuck for 10,000 years. He marked each day by reading one page of a book in the LIBRARY, and eventually read everything in the place."

Groundhog Day was directed by Harold Ramis and written by Ramis and Danny Rubin.
