Radio Days
Tuning in.
Directed by Woody Allen
Produced by Orion Pictures, Jack Rollins & Charles H. Joffe Productions
A warm, nostalgic coming-of-age comedy that celebrates the golden age of radio and childhood wonder in 1930s-40s New York through a blend of personal memory and urban legend.
The Narrator tells us how the radio influenced his childhood in the days before TV. In the New York City of the late 1930s to the New Year's Eve 1944, this coming-of-age tale mixes the narrator's experiences with contemporary anecdotes and urban legends of the radio stars.
