Harold Ramis has stated that the inspiration for this movie was not the novel "The Strange Life of Ivan Osokin" (1905) by P.D. Ouspensky, but many others think that it was. Ramis made this denial within his contributions to a jacket blurb for one edition of the Ouspensky book. In the book, Osokin is given the opportunity to live his life over again by a magician... and Osokin takes him up on the offer, only to make the same mistakes all over again. Eventually he reaches the point in time where he met the magician, who explains to Osokin that he cannot change the recurring wheel that is "this trap called life," and that Osokin must learn to sacrifice, in order to escape it, to find his salvation.
