These precious days

Radio Days

(1987)

A really odd film, pointedly limited in its appeal but dedicated to the titular era, and blessedly so. It's never going to be anyone's favorite Woody Allen film, but the participation of some of his repertory company in minor roles--a small part for Mia Farrow, tiny ones for Jeff Daniels, Tony Roberts, and (vocalist for one Cole Porter song) Diane Keaton--suggests how much more heart mattered than head.

And (and  tall cotton, this): maybe the best soundtrack of any Allen film.
