I agree that Fried Green Tomatoes was a great movie and very true to the book. It's just a shame that they had to "clean up" the lesbian content. It's an interesting quandry, though. Do you make a movie that's totally true to the book or do you strive to make it palatable for a mass audience? I consider it a wonderful "lesbian movie" because I read the book and could see (and feel) the love that Ruth and Idgie felt for each other on the screen. However, my mother enjoyed it and I'm sure did not see any lesbian content at all. Kerry
