CGiii Comment
A beautifully told story...
Unfortunately, the lesbianism is played down to the point of invisibility - but, it is there.
It's just such a lovely story, beautifully performed.
Hankies at the ready.

While in a nursing home visiting relatives, she meets Ninny Threadgoode, an outgoing old woman, who tells her the story of Idgie Threadgoode, a young woman in 1920's Alabama.
