Un ragazzo - Joe - rivive una parte della propria vita, legata soprattutto ai ricordi radiofonici (le voci, gli avvenimenti e le musiche, dagli anni '30 alla fine della guerra). La sua famiglia, di religione ebraica è numerosa e bizzarra, la sua casa piena di movimento e di amenità: un padre che vivacchia alla meglio sempre pronto a piccole iniziative sballate, una madre brusca e litigiosa, ma affettuosa, lo zio Abe, gran pescatore: una sorella della madre - Bea - zitella e sognatrice. Nei ricordi di Joe passano svariati personaggi della radio, dello spettacolo e della vita quotidiana, celebrità ignote come ciccioni intraprendenti quanto pavidi, oppure la graziosa e querula sigarettaia, tutti più o meno direttamente legati a quei microfoni imperanti, dai quali fluiscono la notizia di Pearl Harbour, come le immortali canzoni di Glenn Miller.

If you are into vintage radio and the sounds of that era then this is the film for you. It has a magical quality and very funny in the way it shows a way of life long gone. The fashions,cars and interior designs of the places visited are so well shown it is a visual book on how to create the look for your own dreams.

Radio Days is another of Woody Allen's wonderfully warm and affectionately nostalgic films.
Excellently put together (and featuring a quality cast), the characters are brought to life by a witty script rich with Woody's unique trademark humour.
The only problem is that it's so enjoyable that it passes all too quickly.
A film that leaves you with a warm feeling and wanting more of the same (just like Manhattan and Annie Hall).
Radio Days will not disappoint anyone who appreciates the genius of Woody Allen.

Rarely does a motion picture capture an era with such nostalgia and reverence, as Woody Allen's "Radio Days". Set in New York City as World War 2 breaks; "Radio Days" captures the mood of the times through the music, drama, news, sports - and even the commercials that entertained and informed listeners in the days when radio ruled the media roost. Seen through the eyes of a young Jewish boy and his extended family in working class Brooklyn, the movie is really a series of well crafted vignettes, based on fact mixed with fiction. Some are hilarious, some touching, but always entertaining and filled with the great "Swing" music of the era. As usual, Allen's ensemble of actors deliver terrific turns as they recreate those great old days. Mia Farrow, Diane Wiest, Julie Kavner, Michael Tucker, and Seth Green are standouts, while Woody Allen narrates as only he can. A triumph in every respect, "Radio Days" will leave you, as the final scene does; longing for a more innocent time, while sadly knowing it is gone forever.

Allen Robs Us of a Movie- But Gives Us Something Quite Unique Instead
It's hard to call Radio Days a straightforward movie. It's more small interwined ancedotes from a forgotten era. Read more

Allen's Masterly Nostalgia Trip
Woody Allen's 1987 film Radio Days is a marvellous (autobiographical, but fictional) account of 1930s/40s life in New York, focusing on Allen's recollections of the effect radio... Read more

The only Woody Allen movie i really like

One of the best films I've seen for a long time. Brilliantly acted and brilliantly put together.

Charming, if slight.
'Radio Days' isn't among the most memorable Woody Allen movies but it proves a pleasing enough pastiche of lost childhood and innocence. Read more

Woody Allen selects WWII Big Band tunes for your pleasure
The only real complaint with this album of selections form the original soundtrack for Woody Allen's "Radio Days" is that the most memorable song from the film is not included. Read more
