Radio Days movie sceneWriter-director Woody Allen’s (Broadway Danny Rose) tenderly nostalgic 1987 comedy Radio Days makes its Blu-ray debut from Twilight Time as the label continues to mine Woody’s catalog for high-definition release.

Radio Days is a vignette-packed memory piece about growing up in Brooklyn in the 1940s and it’s lovingly obsessed with the music, entertainment, and news of the wide world brought into every household via the magic of radio.

A young Allen surrogate (played by a teeny red-headed Seth Green) lives with his parents (Julie Kavner and Michael Tucker) and extended family in the wind-swept Rockaway neighborhood, their daily routines spiced by the glamour, excitement, thrills, and even occasional doses of grim reality coming to them over the airwaves.

Featuring a voiceover from Woody himself, the movie also stars Mia Farrow (Rosemary’s Baby), Dianne Wiest (Hannah and Her Sisters), and Josh Mostel (City Slickers).

Bonus features include an isolated music and effects track, the original theatrical trailer, and liner notes by Julie Kirgo.

As supplier Twilight Time prints up only 3,000 copies of each title, the time to order your Blu-ray discs directly from distributor Screen Archives NOW!
