Radio was "Use theater of.tha uUuil," aa escape from the Depression and wartime and Cold War tensions into a land of make-believe. Woody Allen remembers. He was growing up in the war ears, when Americans uddled around their radios to bear the latest battle news, as well as mysteries, comedies, adventures, gossip and quii shows. He has fashioned his memories into another of his impeccable comedies, "Radio Days." With his customary disregard for conventional construction, Allen presents two story lines: the lives of an extended New York family crowded under one roof; and the glittery world of personalities who dwelled in the upper reaches of Radio City. Director-writer Allen narrates "Radio Days'1 but does not appear.

The seemingly autobiographical story is told through the eyes of Joe (Seth Green), the boy who lives his fantasies through the radio. No wonder. His parents (Julie Kavner and Michael Tucker) are always bickering, his aunt (Dianne Wiest) is constantly on the prowl for eligible males and an uncle (Josh Mostel) is forever bringing home fish his friends pivenlm. Ula Nit York's Rockawav Beach is paralleled with the doings of radio stars, notably a cigarette girl (Mia Farrow) who rises to have her own gossip show. They are a serene lot, these radio luminaries, dividing their times between studios and nightclubs.

Superbly edited by Susan E. Morse, "Radio Days" maintains a Joyful balance between reality and a world of dreams. Just when the Rockaway family starts to grow tedious (they have been pictured in the works of Neil Simon. Philip Roth and others), Allen switches the dial to a delightful radio vignette. The swing music of the period, supervised by Dick Hyman, is lovingly reproduced.

Actors always perform their best for Woody Allen. Mia Farrow again proves her versatility as the dippy star-struck blonde. Dianne Wiest is gloriously poignant as the ever-hopeful manhunter. The Orion release bears a PG rating, mostly for some sexual byplay. Movie "There does My Girl" (1037) Gone Reymond.

Because they'd have the skills and budget to do it better and the big "and" they could have a profit participation in the new one.
