Driving Miss Daisy and Revenge Double Feature Review
A review praising Driving Miss Daisy as a charming, Oscar worthy film with strong performances by Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman, while denouncing Revenge as a disappointing 1990 thriller starring Kevin Costner and Anthony Quinn with weak chemistry and flawed storytelling. The piece notes Daisy's Atlanta setting from 1948 to 1973, and Revenge's tumultuous plot with Tibey and Miryea, concluding with theater listings and ratings.
