Radio Days

Even though Joes JewishAmerican family lives modestly in Rockaway Beach, each member at one point during the film finds in radio shows an escape from reality through the gossip of celebrities, sports legends of the day, game shows, and crooners, with the majority of the stories taking place in the glitz and glamour of Manhattan. For Joe, the action adventure shows on the radio inspire him as he daydreams about buying a secret decoder ring, an attractive substitute teacher, movie stars who may or may not be as honest as they appear, and World War II.Meanwhile, several other parallel stories are told, from an aspiring radio star named Sally White Mia Farrow, Joes Aunt Bea Dianne Wiest and her mostly fruitless search for love, and during the middle of the film on the radio the tragic story is told about a little girl named Polly Phelps, who falls into a well near Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. It becomes a big national story as the family listens to it. Sadly, Polly does not survive. ........
