  • "Als Evelyn Couch, een ontevreden 40-jarige vrouw, in contact komt met een energieke bejaarde vrouw die verhalen over haar jeugd vertelt, gaat zij een andere draai aan haar saaie leven geven."
  • "When dowdy housewife Evelyn Couch meets endearing old lady Ninny Threadgoode, she shares with her an enthralling story of two women. The headstrong Idgie and the gentle Ruth who in the 1930's ran the Whistle Stop Cafe, a railside eatery offering great barbecues, tasty fried green tomatoes, and all kinds of love, laughter and even an occasional murder."
  • "Evelyn (Kathy Bates), a bored housewife, meets Ninny (Jessica Tandy), an old woman who tells stories about her hometown of Whistle Stop. The stories centre around two women who ran a cafe, Idgie (Mary Stuart Masterson) and her friend Ruth (Mary-Louise Parker), whose violent husband Frank disappeared. Evelyn finds inspiration in the stories and her outlook and life improve."
  • "This story centers on a cafe in the railroad town of Whistle Stop, Alabama, and on Idgie and Ruth, the two women who run the cafe. There are numerous real-life, minor characters in this tale that ranges from Whistle Stop to Valdosta, Georgia, Birmingham, and Chicago, and swings back and forth in time from the pre-Depression era to the present. The core of this novel is the unusual love affair between Idgie and Ruth. Some strong language."@en
  • "Evelyn Couch (Kathy Bates), an overweight, middle-aged woman, is in a rut. Her husband Ed ignores her, and even his bedridden aunt throws blunt objects at her! Original 1991."
