      Driving Miss Daisy


Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
Winner of the Academy Award for best picture of 1989, this gracefully moving drama, adapted from the hit play by Alfred Uhry, chronicles the 25-year friendship between a stubborn, aging Southern widow (Jessica Tandy) and her loyal chauffeur (Morgan Freeman). At first, the self-sufficient Miss Daisy is reluctant to accept the services of a chauffeur, but Hoke is quiet, wise, and tolerant, and as the years pass the unlikely friends develop a deep mutual respect and admiration. Tandy deservedly won the Oscar for her sassy and sensitive performance, and Freeman earned an Oscar nomination for bringing quiet depth and integrity to his memorable role. Ironically, director Bruce Beresford (Tender Mercies) was not nominated, but the film won Oscars for makeup and for Uhry's screenplay, in addition to a supporting actor nomination for Dan Aykroyd as Daisy's supportive son. Delicate, funny, and bittersweet, Driving Miss Daisy was a surprise hit when released, and marked the crowning achievement of Tandy's great career. --Jeff Shannon

Touching Story Teaches Valuable Lesson
This unforgettable film is timeless and can be enjoyed by the entire family. Its lessons are invaluable. Tracing the autumn and winter years of Daisy Werthen through her relationship with her chauffeur, we learn how a woman of strong opinions can change her view of the world through the help of an uneducated yet wise man. Morgan Freeman plays the part of the chauffeur, known as "Hoke," and Jessica Tandy is featured as the strong-willed curmudgeon, Miss Daisy. Over the years, Hoke becomes indispensable to Miss Daisy, despite her initial dismissive attitude toward the man. Through his kind nature and overall good character, he becomes her closest friend and she his staunchess ally. This film will touch your heart at its very core and leave an indelible mark with a positive message to be learned by all.

Driving Miss Daisy
This is a wonderful movie. It let us know how things were in this country some years ago and in some instances still today. It is a touching film. Young people should watch this movie because they don't have a clue as to things that have happened in the past that they can grow from today. Morgan Freeman, played a great part. His character was a mirror of what so many black men has gone through. I've bought this movie several times brfore for myself. However, somehow I've either, given it away or loan it out. This time it will stay in my movie library. No giveaway, no loan out! Seriously, everyone, and I do mean everyone, young, old, black and white should buy this movie. This is an old movie, but, it tells a real story.

Driving Miss Daisy
Such a special film! Especially since for my husband (18 years) and me, it was our first date! Bought it so I could see it whenever I feel the need to remember that special occasion!

Wonderful DVD
This is a wonderful movie. Mr. Morgan Freeman is wonderful in nearly every movie I've ever seen him in. He's a great actor. Ms Jessica Tandy is the same. Together Mr. Freeman and Ms Tandy are superb in Driving Miss Daisy. I love the charming southern accents and the lovely backgrounds. The house used in this movie is beautiful. I enjoyed this movie and am wearing it out from watching it so much. I will certainly replace it if I ever need to. It's that great!!! And worth every penny I paid for it. I will treasure it.
