Title of the movie

Is the movie really called simply Fried Green Tomatoes? I just watched it, and the title screen included at the Whistle Stop Cafe. IMDb lists it with the short title, with the long one as an AKA.

I've only ever heard it referenced by it's short title (in the US). Also the DVD and VHS covers only have the short title. It was released in the UK known by the full name.Wynler 19:34, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Article should be moved

This article should be moved to simply "Fried Green Tomatoes". This article is mostly about the movie. It is an american movie made in America and where it is exclusively known as "Fried Green Tomatoes". the full title referring to the movie seems to only be used in the UK Caesarscott 18:28, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I think we should leave it here, because the article is also about the book(first) whose title was the long version. If someone ever spends the time to clean up and expand the article to the point where there could be an article for both the movie and the book. Then we could move the movie section to Fried Green Tomatoes (instead of the current redirect). --Wynler | Talk 01:45, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

MSM on The Dennis Miller Show - early '90s - re FGT

I distinctly remember watching an interview with Mary Stuart Masterson during the publicity buildup for the movie, in which she talked to some degree about playing her character with at least a gay subtext. It was something to the effect that the director was toning down that aspect of the character (which is acknowledged here in the article), and she wanted to keep it evident in her portrayal. I can't find anything about this online, and the IMDb listing for the DM show only lists the cast for two episodes (+ a mistaken list for 2004, which would have been his later cable show). If someone can find backup for this interview and post from it to the article, that'd be terrific. Lawikitejana 09:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Book and film split

I propose that the book and film be separated into individual articles. Portions of the current article are only applicable to one or the other. There are also differences between the two, particularly Idgie and Ruth's relationship. Thoughts? - Propound 02:02, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Possible differences between novel and film

I believe in the US release of the Fried Green Tomatoes film, Ninny was 83, of course perhaps a simple mistake was made in this article.

Ninny makes a little bit of a deal that she's surprised by the description on her hospital wristband that says, "86-year-old woman" in the book. If she's 83 in the movie, I don't remember too well. There should be a section in the film version that includes the differences between the book and the movie. The reduction of the lesbian theme will be a significant part of that.Moni3 15:09, 20 March 2007 (UTC)Moni3
