This is a family saga showing the joys and tribulations experienced by all in the expansive, vivid canvas of The Big Apple at a time when innocence was still possible.

 

 

REVIEWS

"Once again, we are astonished by the complexity and clarity of Woody Allen’s vision."

- Richard Schickel, TIME

"Woody Allen continues to assemble a catalog of films that are of world class stature."

- Gene Siskel, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

"His adventures struck deeply into my imagination. In form and even in mood, RADIO DAYS is closest to Fellini’s AMARCORD. Allen finds the same truth that Fellini did: What actually happens isn't nearly as important as how we remember it."

- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"The members of the huge cast are uniformly splendid."

- Janet Maslin, NEW YORK TIMES
