Driving Miss Daisy (1989)

An elderly Jewish widow living in Atlanta can no longer drive. Her son insists she allow him to hire a driver, which in the 1950s meant a black man. She resists any change in her life, but Hoke, the driver, is hired by her son. She refuses to allow him to drive her anywhere at first, but Hoke slowly wins her over with his native good graces. The movie is directly adapted from a stage play and shows it. It covers over twenty years of the pair’s life together as they slowly build a relationship that transcends their differences.
