A 4 Jun 1989 NYT article reported that Alfred Uhry sold film rights to his 1987 play, Driving Miss Daisy, to Zanuck-Brown Productions for $300,000.
In 1948 Atlanta, Georgia, septuagenarian Daisy Werthan loses control of her car as she backs it out of her garage. Coming to assess the damage, her son Boolie maintains that it was her fault, while Daisy argues the car malfunctioned. Later, Boolie, who runs the family business, Werthan Bag & Cotton Co., interviews Hoke Colburn to be his mother’s chauffeur. When he learns he will be driving Boolie’s mother, Hoke asks why Daisy is not doing her own hiring, and Boolie admits his mother is high-strung. Since Boolie will be paying his salary, he tells Hoke that Daisy can say whatever she wants but will never have the power to fire him. On his first day of work, Hoke meets Idella, Daisy’s African American maid, who says she does not envy his position. Meanwhile, Daisy tells Boolie she does not want a chauffeur hanging around the house, but Boolie instructs her to make the best of it. That afternoon, as Hoke talks to Idella in the kitchen, Daisy barges in and forbids him from conversing with

Schitterend, maar honingzoet antiracisme met (de toen 81- jarige) Tandy als Zuidelijke, joodse matrone die haar auto in de prak rijdt, waarna haar zoon Ayckroyd Freeman in dienst neemt als zwarte chauffeur tot groot ongenoegen van Tandy. Dat gebeurt in 1948 en er volgen dan twintig jaar van een bizarre, gevoelige relatie in een door rassenrellen geteisterd Amerikaans Zuiden. Ayckroyd is heel minzaam in zijn ongecompliceerde rol in tegenstelling tot Tandy`s ingewikkelde rol, waar de make-up het nodige meespeelt. Bekroond met vier Oscars: Beste Film, Beste Actrice (Tandy), Beste Scenario voor Alfred Uhry, die zijn eigen toneelstuk bewerkte, dat al eerder de Pulitzerprijs won en Beste Make-up. Camerawerk van Peter James.
