I recently discovered this film and I instantly fell in love with it. I had no idea who directed it until I watched the entire film. In a matter of a week I think I've watched it about four times. I love the nuclear, multi-generational family and of course good music on the radio.
It's such a beautiful film in so many ways with so many wonderful facets of humor, reality and family life in addition to the fantastic music and flavor of the past. It's a New Year's tradition here :)
Ultranostalgic point of view in a warm atmosphere well modeled with the cinematography of Carlo di Palma. Genius dialogues, sweet characters, is so easy to fall in love with this film, which most important element is the radio, where the families sit down or dance around. Woody Allen share his childhood memories with a satiric smile and a sensitive passion
I think that Woody Allen exactly captured the so called golden age of radio, which was in reality a really brief period of time. I think he really got it spot on, as no one else ever has. 73 DE W8LV BILL
@@anneheimburger3186 I’ve seen all but her late 60s movies. Four years later I stay the same, Radio Days is one of his very best, Allen is a great thief and in some ways I prefer it to Amarcord.
I discovered this movie by chance during my US college days in the early 80's. It has remained one of my all-time favourite films, mirroring my own upbringing in Trinidad. There, we had two (two!) radio stations, which informed our daily lives when I was a pre-teen. I watch this movie almost every year, and it never gets stale!
This has been a favourite film of mine since it came out when i was 15. Everyone went on about Woody Allen, and of course we'd all seen Sleeper. But this makes me nostalgic for an era i missed by decades. Great film making and too many brilliant moments to pinpoint. Although when the guys just saunter in beside Ruthie to do their parts during the Carmen Miranda song, its a favourite. And Wallace Shawn.
Terrific film. Great cast. Allen introduced me to Sinatra 's ' If you are but a dream ', with Alex Stordahl, which became one of my favourite FS songs. Michael Tucker, Danny Weist, oh what bliss.
Not to take anything away from Annie Hall, Sleeper, and another big bunch of Woody's classics Mt two faves are "Radio Days" (1987) & " Love and Death" (1975) where Woody just kills you with satires of 19th century Russian novels
I don't think I've ever heard her called that. She started out as Kitty Conn. After she married Moss Hart and was known as Kitty Carlisle or Mrs. Hart.
Can anyone help with this? On two occasions in the film, a short snatch of September Song is played on piano with a little guitar accompaniment - one occasion when he is describing Rockaway in the rain when it is at its most beautiful; the second time when young Woody separates from his friends on the beach and is in an 'odd mood'. The excerpt is not from the Walter Huston version of the song and Shazam won't find it. Any ideas?

I've seen over 40 Woody Allen movies, and I think this is still in my top 5! It's so nostalgic and sweet.
Ditto on lots of Allen films and this in top five.

Better late than never to find Radio Days.
A movie I just found out about
❤❤❤❤❤Fell in love with it. The 80’s had so many great directors making movies about the 1940’s

Watch it every year and it still holds up.

Without a shadow of a doubt, one of Allen¿s very best
THE best imho.
My dad loved Radio Days and Broadway Danny Rose and so do I.
Have you seen the Purple Rose of Cairo?

Definitely in my top ten!!

“I heaaaaa the canons roarrr. Roarrrr. Roarrr. Roarrr..” “Who’s this Pearl Hahbahh?”
My favorite Allen
you speak the truth my faithful Indian companion! ;)
The rabbi ought to SMACK you for being so smart-ass.
@@poetcomic1 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"What's my motivation?" "A laxative darling, you crave one!"
love this film it's so funny one of his best!
I never liked this film that much but it has some good moments. Diane Keaton’s cameo is awesome. The ending is really good. Overall a thumbs up

Blond boy on the roof, far left, is Fletcher Previn, the son of Mia Farrow and Andre Previn. He's now CIO of IBM.
And, presumably, the brother of Allen's daughter, who is now his wife?
@@charleybarley939 Gets complicated, doesn't it?
Always interesting to see any reference to Frank Sinatra in a video about Woody Allen. Just sayin'.
Released in 1987, not '86.
fun.
does anyone know which life magazine it was that was featured? (his father was reading it in the beginning of the film)
Kitty Carlisle (pronounced Car-lyle). Nobody knew her as Kitty Hart.
I don't think I've ever heard her called that. She started out as Kitty Conn. After she married Moss Hart and was known as Kitty Carlisle or Mrs. Hart.
Even among my age group (70's) Kitty was Carlisle; though a small percent knew she was married to Brett Hart.

It may have been recorded specifically for the film by music director Dick Hyman.
4:47 - What I always wondered was why the h*ll would a radio show have anatomically correct models of fish just lying around?
Oh, Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy.....a kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you?
The rabbi is played by Kenneth Mars
“Who IS Pearl Harbor?”
Good bits of trivia. Please check out my new trivia videos!
(1:00 - 1:14) - Oh come on! The movie promo's just told you how to pronounce it, narrator guy. What's with the silent 'd'?
Great point.
I've been noticing many examples of this. Even more glaring.
Bee
great music
he not in it
Who's Pearl Harbour anyway?
