Radio Days Reviews
A Beautiful Ode To A Lost Era
Woody Allen accomplished something very special with this film, memorializing the 40's through the use of old radio shows and hit songs of the era. The movie is sweetly sentimental and captures a time and place perfectly. The acting is uniformly wonderful and the period costuming and cinematography will make you believe you've been transported back in time.
A unique and truly great film.
A Story of Listeners and the Listened To
This movie is a series of scenes in the lives of a Jewish family who live with the radio turned on 24/7 and of some radio personalities and how they rose to stardom. Some memorable scenes are Sally, an aspiring radio star, as she auditions for a laxative commercial (too funny!!) and her diction classes as she retrains NYC out of her voice. The family is blended together with three sisters, two husbands and one child in one house to pool finances. There's the neighborhood kids, the unmarried aunt's boyfriends thrown in as extras all with Woody Allens sardonic yet wise and warm remarks to narrate the various happenstances along the way. This movie is a departure from his usual romantic comedies and has more warmth and humanity than all of them put together. Before, TV. people DID live with the radio on alot as it brought the world in with drama, fantasy and helped one feel connected at all times. It was a simpler more optimistic time. The film is charming, uplifting and uproariously funny all at once.
