Take It Out in Trade

Thought lost until the 2010s, this bizarre softcore opus scripted and directed by Ed Wood follows the travails of a shady shamus (Michael Donovan O'Donnell) hired by the parents of a teen runaway (Donna Stanley), who tracks his quarry to a house of ill repute. There's no shortage of outré goings-on, including Wood himself in full blonde drag as the transvestite Alecia; Nona Carver, Linda Colpin, Monica Gayle, Duke Moore also star. 80 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; audio commentary; bonus feature "Love Feast" (1969); bonus documentary "Take It Out in Trade: The Outtakes."
