FRIED GREEN TOMATOES AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE
Evelyn is in the sad slump of middle age, and gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode, is telling her life story. Her tale includes two more women. . . the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth. . . who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, offering good coffee, southern barbecue, and all kinds of love and laughter. . . even an occasional murder. And as the past unfolds, the present will never be quite the same again.
