What more can you ask for in a film such as this? A chauffeur (Morgan Freeman) is hired by a factory owner (Dan Aykroyd) to drive around an old woman (Jessica Tandy) who at first rejects the man but soon grows to like him. "Driving Miss Daisy" is highly touching, highly enjoyable, and highly recommended! This film deservedly won the Best Picture Academy Award in 1989 and Jessica Tandy won an Academy Award for her splendid performance.
