George Harrison 'close to death'. Former Beatle George Harrison has admitted that he expects to die soon from cancer. The 58-year-old has been treated for a brain tumour at a clinic in Switzerland, having already undergone an operation for lung cancer earlier this year.
Caddyshack was filmed on location at the Boca Raton Hotel & Country Club, Boca Raton and The Rolling Hills Golf & Tennis Club, Davie, Florida, USA. The gates to the country club where Danny rides his bike during the opening credits are the gates to Bel Air on Sunset Blvd. in Southern California.
Caddyshack director and co-writer Harold Ramis was also a co-writer of the 1978 National Lampoon comedy classic Animal House, along with eventual Caddyshack co-writer and producer Douglas Kenney. Held to only a $3 million budget, their film of frat-house shenanigans went on to gross $141 million at the box office.
