The movie, Driving Miss Daisy, is not just about an old Southern Lady, but an Old Jewish Southern Lady. Dan Arkroyd plays the son, a Jewish business man. Very good portayal of Southern Jews. Kind to folks all 'round, including blacks.

It didn't matter what the Lady's religion was in the picture, she represented a whole generation of southern women whom most of us called Grandmomma. They didn't leave the house without their gloves, hats and pocketbooks. For them to wear shorts or pants wasn't ladylike. Everytime I see that movie, I see my grandmother and to a certain extent, my mother.

That was one of the best movies I ever saw. I took my grandmother to see it when she came to America. She went back thinking the movies weren't trash after all *LOL*
