Scenes to watch...a- near beginning, when Ed and Evelyn drive up to closed Whistle Stop Cafe and Evelyn "sees" a train pass!...(foreshadowing)...b- young Ruth, young Idgie & Buddy stroll along dam...c- early on picnic by train tracks!...d- flashbacks...e- hey, there are just toooo many neat scenes, so, you'll have to view the entire film for the first time or for your 16th time!
