[edit] History

Take it Out in Trade was written and directed by Edward D. Wood, Jr. during his long downward spiral into alcoholism and pornography. Though the film is sometimes incorrectly stated as lost[1] (Rudolph Grey, author of Nightmare of Ecstasy, claims to have located a print during research for his book), it has never been made commercially available on home video.

Three cans of outtake footage of Take it Out in Trade were found in the projection booth of a Santa Monica movie theatre[2] and released on video by Something Weird Video in 1995. To date, this remains the only commercial release of any footage of Take it Out in Trade.[3]

Though not strictly speaking an Ed Wood film, both Something Weird Video and IMDb list Edward D. Wood, Jr. as director of Take it Out in Trade: The Outtakes]].
