I'm Not Rappaport (film)
''I'm Not Rappaport'' is a 1996 film adaptation by Herb Gardner of his play by the same name. Also directed by Gardner, the film starred Walter Matthau, Ossie Davis, Amy Irving, Craig T. Nelson, Martha Plimpton, Peter Friedman, and Ron Rifkin.
==Synopsis==
Inspired by two elderly men Gardner met in New York City's Central Park, it focuses on Nat Moyer, a cantankerous white Jew, and Midge Carter, a feisty African-American, who spend their days sitting on a bench, trying to mask the realities of aging, mainly through the tall tales that Nat spins. The play touches on several issues, including society’s treatment of the aged, the difficulties dealing with adult children who think they know what's best for their parents, and the dangers that lurk in urban areas.
Its title comes from an old vaudeville joke, a variation of which evolved into dialogue between the two protagonists:
* Nat: Hey, Rappaport! I haven't seen you in ages. How have you been?
* Midge: I'm not Rappaport.
* Nat: Rappaport, what happened to you? You used to be a short fat guy, and now you're a tall skinny guy.
* Midge: I'm not Rappaport.
* Nat: Rappaport, you used to be a young guy with a beard, and now you're an old guy with a mustache.
* Midge: I'm not Rappaport.
* Nat: Rappaport, how has this happened? You used to be a cowardly little white guy, and now you're a big imposing black guy.
* Midge: I'm not Rappaport.
* Nat: And you changed your name, too!
