Date Sold 10/12/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Presskit (measures approximately 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; contains 2 supplements, and 4 stills) (Learn More) Driving Miss Daisy, the 1989 Bruce Beresford old-distinguished-southern-white-lady-and-her-long-time-black-chauffer race relations melodrama ("The Comedy That Won A Pulitzer Prize."; "The funny, touching and totally irresistible story of a working relationship that became a 25-year friendship."; "Screenplay by Alfred Uhry, based on his play"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; about a rich Jewish woman who eventually befriends her African American driver) starring Morgan Freeman (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Jessica Tandy (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Daisy Werthan), Dan Aykroyd (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Patti Lupone, and Esther Rolle. Note that this movie is remarkably similar to the 1973 Alan Bridges English movie, The Hireling, starring Robert Shaw and Sarah Miles. That movie was based on a novel by L.P. Hartley, and this movie does not in any way credit that movie, so we suppose that Alfred Uhry, who wrote the play this movie is based on, was "inspired" by that earlier movie, but that there were enough differences between the two to prevent a lawsuit. In addition, the posters for the two movies are very similar in design, but we would think that any movie about a chauffeur would tend to show him in a rear view mirror with the person he is driving, so that is not surprising!

Important Added Info: Note that we have taken a picture of the cover of the presskit and eight of the stills (less than eight if the presskit has less than eight stills, of course). We have noted if the presskit contains any supplements, but we do not picture them. All of the presskits are sealed and ready to be sent, and we cannot answer any questions about the contents, especially about what any stills we may have not pictured show. REMEMBER TO LOOK AT THE TOP OF THIS AUCTION TO SEE HOW MANY STILLS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS PRESSKIT, BECAUSE WE NEVER PICTURE MORE THAN EIGHT OF THEM (and we pretty much picked eight stills at random). Condition: very good to fine. Many of the presskits we are auctioning this week were carefully stored away for many years, and the stills are in really excellent condition. Sometimes the folder that contains the stills has some minor wear on it, and you should be able to see that in our super-sized image. Learn More about condition grades
