Cast

Apart from The Amazing Criswell (who appeared in Orgy of the Dead), Duke Moore is the only one of Edward D. Wood, Jr.'s stable of actors from his 1950s films to appear in one of his sexploitation films. Nona Carver was a girlfriend of Wood regular Kenne Duncan. Wood himself appeared in the film as a transvestite named "Alecia", footage of which can be seen in Take it Out in Trade: The Outtakes.

Unavailability

Take it Out in Trade has never been released on any home video format. It is commonly believed to be a lost film, and is listed as such on IMDb.[1] However, in his Edward D. Wood, Jr. biography Nightmare of Ecstasy, Rudolph Grey claims to have discovered a rare copy during his research. He reports that the film has "psychedelic touches," with red being dominant in the film's visual scheme. The website of Something Weird Video also claims that it is not a lost film.[2] In the 1990s, three reels of silent outtake footage was discovered in the projection booth of a Santa Monica movie theatre containing bloopers, behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes, and alternative takes. The footage was released on VHS in 1995 by Something Weird Video as Take it Out in Trade: The Outtakes. This remains the only footage of Take it Out in Trade that has been released on home video.
