Bill Murray Opens New Caddyshack Restaurant in Rosemont

CHICAGO (CBS) - Actor and comedian Bill Murray is in Chicago for the grand opening of his new restaurant based on one of his best known films, Caddyshack.

Murray and his five brothers are opening the Caddyshack restaurant in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Fans of the movie will get to soak in their favorite scenes from Caddyshack, as well as other Murray comedies.

"It's most fun, to me, to see all of the pictures of my brothers, sisters, and parents. You look at that and say 'That's a life!' The movie posters, that's a career, but the pictures of your family, that's a life," says Murray.

While unveiling the restaurant, Murray reminisced about what it was like making the film in 1980.

"It really had some of the greatest funny people of that time in the movie," Murray joked.
