Additional InformationIn a Southern nursing home, a feisty resident (Jessica Tandy) befriends a depressed housewife (Kathy Bates) and stirs her to action with an inspirational tale. She tells the story of a transcendent friendship between two young women living in Alabama in the 1930s, who forge a powerful bond after witnessing a terrible tragedy together. Their friendship lasts through many ups and downs over the years, helping one of the women through an abusive marriage, and buoying both of them through the gossip and jealousy of the small-minded people who try to control their lives. This clever, heartwarming film is based on the novel FRIED GREEN TOMATOES AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE by Fannie Flagg.
