Pull up a chair at the Whistle Stop Cafe for a tale of friendship, food and murder. Based on Fannie Flagg's novel, this '90s cult classic is guaranteed to pull on the heartstrings. Towanda!
Evelyn (Kathy Bates) is a middle-aged housewife dissatisfied with her life. On a visit to a nursing home she befriends an elderly lady, Mrs Threadgoode (Jessica Tandy) who tells her the remarkable story of soul mates Idgie (Mary Stuart Masterson) and Ruth (Mary-Louise Parker), whose antics caused an uproar in their rural Southern town. The friendship of the two girls inspires Evelyn to improve her life and luck.
A warm and touching tale about the empowering nature of female friendship in a world dominated by the power of men.
Too Much: Melodrama on film is a UK-wide season, supported by BFI National Lottery funding, celebrating the vivid visual language, heightened dramatics and emotional pathos at the heart of film melodrama.
