Review – Radio Days

Though it would probably be hard to make an objective case for this movie as Woody Allen’s greatest contribution to the cinematic arts, subjectively I have to admit that it’s one of my favorite pieces of the director’s work. Sure, a lot of it’s just as silly as the old radio shows to which it pays tribute. But there’s something genuine about it, too. Perhaps it’s just that childhoods enjoy a certain number of common elements, making the characters and situations easy to appreciate regardless of where and when one grew up. Mildly amusing
