Radio Days (1987)
Directed by Woody Allen
Rated PG <imdb>
The lives of a working-class, Rockaway Beach family serve as the

Episodes of everyday life are skillfully interwoven with scenes from
popular radio programs, behind the microphone and offstage.
Dianne Wiest, Mia Farrow, Julie Kavener and a very young Seth
Green star in a film that turns nostalgia for a medium into a
meditation on the nature of memories.
