Correct response: What is Groundhog Day?

More Information About Final Jeopardy!:

Because it was essentially a "never ending day", 1993's Groundhog Day received the title "Un Jour Sans Fin" in France, as "Groundhog Day" is not generally observed in that country.

This feels like a relatively straightforward Final Jeopardy clue, as long as one is familiar with the film and can make a general literal translation to "A Day Without End".
