Woody Allen faz neste filme uma nova passagem pelas décadas de 30 e 40, numa altura em que a rádio vivia ainda os seus anos dourados. Em "Os Dias da Rádio", o realizador vai ao baú das suas memórias para de lá tirar a história de um adolescente judeu nova-iorquino, fascinado pela rádio. O filme entrelaça episódios da pacata vida familiar do jovem, passados num bairro operário de Nova Iorque, com as histórias das celebridades da rádio, na sofisticação de Manhattan - num ziguezague constante e hilariante, por exemplo, se o oceano Pacífico é menor do que o Atlântico, ou mesmo o que o pai faz para ganhar a vida.
Searching for ratings at any cost, an unscrupulous radio-network owner forces his program manager to air a serial based on a past murder, tormenting a woman involved.
It was Peter's idea to invite his friends on a joyride on Justus' birthday of all days. In pouring rain, a car breakdown forces the three detectives to seek refuge at the creepy "Blackstone" castle. When lightning knocks out the power line, the three investigators are stuck for good. It soon becomes clear to the three junior detectives that the lord of the castle, Count Gallagher, is a real chess fanatic. But not only that - the old castle makes a spooky impression and then there is Moe, the count's sinister servant. What is it about the chess pieces on the dilapidated, centuries-old chess table that seem to move by themselves, move after move, as if by magic? Is the old building really haunted? The first detective is immediately hooked and senses a new case, only Peter wants to run away. It soon becomes clear to the three investigators that this is about much more than just a game of chess...
