In Grey's introduction, he talks about what he learned about the director while researching his life. Like many of my fellow Wood-ologists, my interest in Take It Out began with Rudolph Grey's unorthodox biography of Ed, Nightmare of Ecstasy: The Life and Art of Edward D. Last week, thanks to the good people at Manhattan's Anthology Film Archives, I finally did. I have been wanting to see Ed Wood's Take It Out in Trade (1970) for - dear Lord - twenty years now.

Ed Wood also published an unrelated short story in Trois magazine (1972) with the same title as this movie.
