BAND SINGER is played by Diane Keaton in “Radio Days.” "Radio Days" Looks Fondly At Forties BY TONY ZAZA NEW YORK (NC) - Writer-director Woody Allen creates a tribute to the 1940s in his latest movie, “Radio Days” (Orion), a loving reminiscence of his childhood in New York. Most of the spirit and substance of the film is communicated by the soundtrack, which reflects in music, lyrics and dialogue the radio pro gramming that w'as an in tegral part of life in the 1940s. With obsessive care for period detail, Allen or chestrates a tableau of set pieces centered around the impact which radio had upon family life. With the movie set in 1944, Julie Kavner as mother and Michael Tucker as father convey the manners and morals of the times. Aunt Bea (Dianne Wiest) is look ing for but can't seem to find the right man. In parallel action but unrelated to the family's concerns are Sally White's (Mia Farrow) activities. She is a typical 1940s work ing girl who makes plenty of mistakes trying to launch an acting career and find true love. Except for a brief in stance of nudity, the pro duction is a heartwarming reminiscence of some of the best aspects of radio while providing a humorous perspective,of what it w'as like growing up when radio was a dominant source of entertainment and infor mation. The U.S. Catholic Conference classification is A-II — adults and adolescents. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG — parental guidance sug gested. Zaza is on the staff of the U.S. Catholic Conference Department of Com m unication. L
