Avg. Event Rating (5.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

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 taken from a stage play and does show it. It covers over twenty years of the pair's life together as they slowly build a relationship that transcends their differences.

    this theater is perfect for this story about life in the changing south in the years between 1948 and 1972. the stage production is more fun than the film and the cast three people. Mary Galde as Daisy creates a loveable sympathatic lady fighting to keep her independence, hoke played by Steve Randolph is proud, kindly, and wise in ways that keeps him going is a world where he is a second tier citizen. Boolie played by Ray Medved daisy son and hoke's boss adds balance to the story and together they all shine. the actors take advantage of the humor in the charaters and the events that make the audience laugh and cry out loud and exit with a warm feeling of an evening well spent. Driving Miss Daisy is a event worth the price and the time. Collapse
