I'm Not Rappaport (1996)

In the vibrant heart of New York City, on a simple park bench, an extraordinary friendship blossoms between Nat Moyer, a white ex-radical with a knack for storytelling, and Midge Carter, a black, half-blind retired janitor. Nat, a ceaseless talker, philosopher, and playful troublemaker, breathes life into the ordinary with his whimsical imagination while Midge maintains the role of a grounded realist, despite being the superintendent of an apartment building who is tussling with the threat of forced retirement. As the unlikely duo navigates the rough terrains of aging, their camaraderie becomes their fortress. Through laughter and wisdom, they confront a world that seems increasingly alien, battling not only the impending shadows of retirement and the hurdles of deteriorating vision but also the more threatening elements of urban life - from a ruthless drug dealer to a menacing mugger. In this enchanting urban tale, Nat also squares off against his own daughter's disdain and Midge's impending retirement. Their journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the potency of friendship, and the power of shared wisdom. 'I'm Not Rappaport' spins a charming tale of a truly 'odd couple', their shared laughter, trials, and triumphs, painting a warm portrait of friendship that transcends generational divides, racial boundaries, and the relentless march of time.
