Driving Miss Daisy (1989) |

An elderly matron (Jessica Tandy) manages to crash her 1948 Packard into her next-door neighbour's garden. She is unhurt after the accident but her son (Dan Aykroyd), fearing for his mother's safety, hires a chauffeur, a canny black widower in his early 60's (Morgan Freeman). The relationship between the southern matron and the black chauffeur forced on her by her son is examined in this adaptation of Alfred Uhry's decades-spanning stage play. Reluctant to surrender her independence, Miss Daisy ignores the driver until he patiently wins her over. Between nagging sessions, she teaches him to read and he teaches her about how much they have in common. As the long turbulent years pass, the Jewish woman and her black servant develop a respect and deep friendship for one another.
