Woody Allen directs Seth Green, Diane Weist and Mia Farrow in this celebration of his own youth and the radio stars of the 1940s.

A collection of vignettes charmingly cast and recreated. It would all feel a bit disposable and indulgent if it didn’t have quite so many stand out moments. My own personal favourite is when Farrow’s struggling actress witnesses a mob hit and is then taken home by Danny Aiello’s hitman so he can borrow a shovel from his Ma to bury her. A lot of classy fun.
