Radio Days
1987
***½
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Julie Kavner, Seth Green, Dianne Wiest, Mia Farrow, Michael Tucker

Woody reminisces the days when radio was the centrepiece of every household, i.e. the 1940s. Little vignettes about a Jewish family in New York are juxtaposed against public events of the time, especially those related to radio celebrities. A charming and entertaining if not completely satisfactory nostalgia piece.
