Take It Out in Trade (Blu-ray)

Ed Wood was the filmmaker behind PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE and GLEN OR GLENDA, the author of hundreds of novels, and a pall-bearer at Bela Lugosi's funeral. Wood fought in the Pacific Ocean theater during World War II while wearing a bra and panties under his uniform. Basically, there will never be another hero like Ed Wood. And there will never be another movie like TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE. Once thought lost, this surreal sexploitation detective comedy would feel right at home on a triple-bill with John Waterss MULTIPLE MANIACS and Russ Meyers THE IMMORAL MR. TEAS. With delirious narration by Wood himself, positive depictions of LGBTQ relationships, and a miraculous role by Ed Wood in drag as Alecia, TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE is a joyous swan song from one of the most seminal exploitation filmmakers of all time. Preserved from the only 16mm theatrical print in existence Commentary with filmmaker Frank Henenlotter, Ed Wood biographer Rudolph Grey, and AGFAs Joseph A. Ziemba TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE
