I'm Not Rappaport is a 1996 American buddy comedy drama film[1] written and directed by Herb Gardner, and starring Walter Matthau and Ossie Davis. Based on Gardner's play, the film focuses on two elderly New York City men—Nat Moyer, a cantankerous left-wing Jew, and Midge Carter, an African American man—who spend their days sitting on a bench in Central Park, trying to mask the realities of aging, mainly through the tall tales that Nat spins.
