TITLE Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)

ALT__TITLE

DISABILITY Amputee

COUNTRY USA

LENGTH 130

GENRE Drama

DIRECTOR John Avnet

CAST Kathy Bates

Jessica Tandy

Mary Stuart Masterson

NOTES Very talky film set in the Southern U.S. Bates is the wife who

listens to Tandy in a nursing home telling her tales from the

past, with flash backs.

In a peripheral incident a young boy loses an arm in a train

accident but there's no follow through.

Not really enough charm despite good performances to hold

one's attention.

From Fannie Flagg's novel: Fried Green Tomatoes at the

Whistle Stop Cafe
