Talk:Driving Miss Daisy

Parody

I could not remember the name of the movie, and could not track it down, so maybe some one could help me. Years ago the was a movie about some kids who got sucked into their TV after getting a satellite installed. It was full of parodies of movies. One of them was Driving Over Miss Daisy. I think it would be interesting to include it in some sort of trivia. (CloneArmyCommander 06:53, 15 November 2005 (UTC))

Stay Tuned has its own article in Wikipedia, so I'm linking directly to it. I'll let you make the link and text. Val42 07:18, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

That would be it :D. Thanks :D! (CloneArmyCommander 14:21, 15 November 2005 (UTC))

Play

I seen where a tag had been placed saying that the article should be split up into articles concerning the movie and play versions. From what I can see, about 90 percent of the article deals with the movie, so if more details about the play do come about they should probably be placed in their own articles.

completly correct. i think the tag should be removed until more things about the play are written. any objections?? Rizk-O 01:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Idella's funeral

Black churches tend not to have any white members. On special occasions, however, white people would be received as special guests. In this case, Miss Daisy and her family came to the funeral because Idella was her long-time employee. Even in the days of segregation, persons like Idella were treated as family, so the Werthan family's attendance at the funeral was not all unusal. By the way, it is far more likely for a white person to be invited into a black church than it is for a black person to be invited into a white church, even today.

No actor Jewish?

Is it true, that none of the actors portraying Jewish characters in _Driving Miss Daisy_ is really a Jew or a Jewess? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.196.241.167 (talk) 02:24, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

What does it matter? (I ask that as a Jew). --OuroborosCobra (talk) 03:37, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I do not think it matters at all. As a matter of historical record, however, the principal actors portraying German officers in Hogan's Heroes#Jewish actors were Jewish, which I think is rather ironic and interesting.John Paul Parks (talk) 19:11, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

The three main actors playing Jewish characters, Jessica Tandy, Dan Aykroyd, and Patti LuPone, were/are not Jewish. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 06:23, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Differences between play and movie

Request: could someone add a section discussing how the play differs from the movie? I am particularly interested in how the play handles the driving/travel sequences and the other changes in settings that are more easily dealt with on the screen than on the stage.

Martin Luther King's speech.

In the section about Dr King, is the section of the speech that we hear onscreen an accurate presentation of a real speech? I've tried to look for quotes on what I can remember (probably leaves something to be desired), but cannot find anything. Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 05:53, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
