14. Radio Days by Woody Allen

Allen, Woody. Radio Days, New York, N.Y. : 1987.

This 1987 film is Allen’s paean to his youth, and to the long-gone days of listening to the radio dramas. The film is set in the early 40s, when every family depended on a radio set for the evening’s entertainment. Around this theme, several intertwining stories are told. A young boy (a surrogate character for Allen, and played by a young Seth Green) is a huge fan of all the radio series and would like nothing more than to spend his free time by the radio, he is often thwarted by the various eccentricities of his family members. Meanwhile, the stars of those radio shows are not the glamorous figures that their smooth voices would suggest, and life for them is no picnic, either.
