Woody Allen's loving, episodic memoir about his time growing up in Brooklyn before and during World War Two, when nobody had much money and the radio was everybody's window on the world. This ends up being a lot less about Woody Allen and a lot more about an era that's fading away, along with those who remember it. A beautifully reconstructed time capsule, and one of Woody's best movies.
