Fried Green Tomatoes with Boys On The Side

0 Conversations


Did I tell you what I noticed about Mary Louise Parker?


In Fried Green Tomatoes, she plays a heterosexual woman who is the the object of another woman's affection. An abusive husband gets murdered, and later there is a trial. A murder conviction is avoided by a witness who makes a minor lie (the preacher swearing on a copy of Moby Dick instead of the bible). Then Mary Louise Parker's character dies from a long, slow illness. An excellent movie.
