 | Year: 1978
Time: the present. At a lavish party thrown by an unknown host, a young
lady, Linda, meets a handsome Texan and tries to discover who and where
the mystery host is. Exploring the house, they happen upon a room that
unexpectedly turns into a projection room. The film that the two guests
watch is a very old "stag reel" of a very old man seducing a middle-aged
woman. Later beside the pool Linda meets the mysterious host, Darrin
Blue.
Through a series of flashbacks Darrin explains that the old man in the
film is in fact, Darrin Blue.
"Take Off" is a delightful update of the Oscar Wilde idea of a man who
never ages; but in this case, his image on an 8mm film ages instead. But
"Take Off" is also quite literally, a take off on the movies of the
1930's, 40's, 50's and 60's. Darrin Blue in those time periods actually
becomes some of our favorite characters from movies we all remember.
One of the greatest adult films of all time. Superlative on every level, Armand Weston
made a stunning visual treat that looks as fresh today as it did 30
years ago. The film is plot heavy, starting in the 1920s and following
the hero's escapades decade by decade through the 1970's. Starring Georgina Spelvin, Annette Haven & Leslie Bovee.
