“Driving Miss Daisy” is a Pulitzer Prize winning classic about “Having recently demolished another car, Daisy Wertham, a rich, sharp-tongued Jewish widow of seventy-two, is informed by her son, Boolie that she must rely on the services of a chauffeur. The person he hires for the job is a thoughtful, unemployed black man, Hoke, whom Miss Daisy immediately regards with disdain and who, in turn, is not impressed with his employer's patronizing tone. But, in a series of absorbing scenes spanning twenty-five years, the two, despite their mutual differences, grow ever closer, and more dependent on, each other. This wonderful story becomes a heart-warming tale of friendship and aging gracefully.
