Backside Text (Translated): Let yourself be enchanted by this nostalgic portrait of the 40s with a star-studded cast: In Radio Days, Woody Allen weaves the memories of a little boy with quirky stories from the Golden Age of Radio into a whimsical, beautiful tapestry of images. Historically exact and packed into dense images, Radio Days is one of the most worthwhile homages to the good old days. 10-year-old Joe Needleman is crazy about the stories from the radio. In his dreams, he escapes into wild adventures where he fights enemy spies—or where his beautiful teacher wears little more than a smile on her face. But while the radio voices stimulate Joe's imagination, the associated people have their own dreams—which burst like soap bubbles. For the whole nation is racing toward a merciless future, in which only one thing is absolutely certain: the days of radio are numbered... but in Joe's memory, their magic remains alive forever.
