Horowitz and Mrs. Washington
by Henry Denker
Synopsis
Sam Horowitz, a rich, retired Jewish widower, has been mugged, slashed with a knife, and had a stroke.
Home from the hospital and in a wheelchair, he's cheerful about nothing and very anti-Black, the color of his attackers.
He is less than enchanted by the black therapist hired to nurse him, but Mrs. Washington is a determined tyrant.
A stormy but fond relationship develops.
When Sam's daughter tries to move him to a nursing home, he and Mrs. Washington prevail.
