The funny, touching and totally irresistible story of a working relationship that became a 25-year friendship.

The story of an old Jewish widow named Daisy Werthan and her relationship with her black chauffeur, Hoke. From an initial mere work relationship grew in 25 years a strong friendship between the two very different characters, in a time when those types of relationships were shunned.

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"Driving Miss Daisy retains its coziness and its slightness, but it has been filmed eloquently."

— Pauline Kael

"Mild but pleasing... The movie, passing in time from the fifties through the civil-rights period, lovingly measures the precise shadings of irritation, affection, and dependence that flow back and forth between two characters."

— David Denby
