Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe/Trivia


 * The Red Stapler: The author of the book found an old abandoned ghost town, and decided to write the book to make up a story behind the place. Then the movie came and they filmed it in the same ghost town, and ended up cleaning the place up a little. The film and book brought so much attention to it, that they opened up the actual whistle stop cafe there.
 * Throw It In: A lot of the scenes in the film were improvised, such as the drunken baseball game, or the food fight. In one instance Ninny's actress is trying to remember what her line is, before remembering it and going on. They decided to keep this in because it made for a convincing dramatic pause.
