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." Some episodes are built around radio itself (like the burglars who answer the phone in a house they're burgling and win a radio contest), and others center on the life of a young Jewish boy (Seth Green, clearly playing a version of Allen himself as a child). Though light in tone, Radio Days is an ambitious re-creation not simply of an era, but of radio itself. Nowadays radio is little more than a way to sell pop tunes, but it used to transmit dreams; watching this movie, you get a taste of how inspiring this simpler medium could be. --Bret Fetzer |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | When radio was king |
| Woody Allen narrates the story of a romanticized boyhood during WWII, a time when the medium of radio was at its zenith. The loosely connected vignettes tell the stories of the boy (Seth Green) and his poor Jewish family, his perpetually disappointed and lovelorn aunt (Diana Weist), and a young woman striving to make it in show biz (Mia Farrow), interspersed with anecdotes about the personalities that entered America's homes through the airwaves every day. Allen shows us what radio meant to the people of that time, leaving even those of us who are too young to have experienced it ourselves feeling a little wistful and sad at its passing. This is a delightful movie. | |
