The Frame

This essentially plotless Woody Allen film consists of a series of nostalgic vignettes about a 1940s working class New York family. The title comes from their love for the radio, the center of pop culture at the time; the radio also provides the subplot following Mia Farrow as a wanna-be radio singer who gets mixed up with gangsters. Like Broadway Danny Rose, it’s not particularly deep, but it’s also very enjoyable. Having Allen only doing the voiceover (his alter-ego character is a played by a very young Seth Green) is probably a good thing.
