Radio Days description A sweet and clever combination of anecdotes and autobiography, Radio Days draws heavily on Woody Allen's childhood. Fittingly, the unfolding episodes are woven together by music--lovely hits of the 1940s like "In the Mood" and "That Old Feeling."

| Radio Days is a nostalgic look at life during the radio era just before television became widely popular. The story is woven together by music and is in no particular order. Woody Allen narrates the events that occur to the family and famous radio stars based on the music that he associates with the events, perhaps a throwback to Penny Serenade. The stories are sometimes outrageous and funny and sometimes slightly sad and filled with pathos. The mood is very much like that of A Christmas Story. It is a warm look back at a time that no longer exists, and we are made to feel sorry for its passing.
There is no lack of humor, even in the most tense or sad moments. One laughs when a house is burglarized, one laughs when a lovesick woman who cannot find a husband, and one laughs when an innocent girl is threatened with murder. It is all in the delivery, and Allen has a way of making his audiences look at the bright side of life. Aside from a highly entertaining story, this film features an excellent cast. We have Seth Green as the embodiment of the narrator here as a little boy. Allen's wife Mia Farrow is a waitress turned radio star. Wallace Shawn is the voice of the Masked Avenger. SNL's Don Pardo is the host of a radio show. Marge Simpson's voice Julie Kavner plays the mother. Dianne Wiest plays the lovesick sister. With a cast like that, it is difficult to go wrong. |
