Calling him a murderous man is a premature description of the plot; Barney Page is a rather unstable personality who begins to hate his wife more and more because she stands in the way of his new love, Paula. Paula, however, does not care about him at all; he cannot stay away from drink and is slowly sliding into a downward spiral.
Because Sheila has foreknowledge of what is going to happen this year, she tries to do things differently, but it doesn't help much.
With a little imagination, you could call this a serious precursor to Groundhog Day, but the fantasy elements are kept minimal and the tone is deadly serious.
If the film had leaned more towards the sci-fi fantasy side, it could have been much better in my opinion. Still, the film isn't bad, but I had expected more from it.
