This classic adult film was produced at the height of the "golden age" of porn, when a number of directors truly wanted to make "art" out of movies featuring people actually having sex.

Bolstered by an intelligent script by Daria Price, "Take Off" is a riff on "The Picture of Dorian Gray," with the main character of the film (Darrin Blue - get it?) remaining eternally young, while his image on a stag film continues to age. The film begins in the 1920s, and we follow Darrin's adventures decade by decade through the 1970s. There are some pretty corny situations that pop up along the way, along with a few adolescent attempts at humor, but this film still stands out as an example of a dirty movie that can maintain audience interest in between the sex scenes.

It helps that "Take Off" features some of the most well known porn stars of the era - Georgina Spelvin, Annette Haven, Leslie Bovee, and Wade Nichols - and their performances help raise the quality of the film. Wade Nichols and Georgina Spelvin, in particular, are a wonder to watch - they're not just good porn actors, but good actors...period. Wade Nichols did find some mainstream success in "The Edge of Night" soap opera in the late 70s and 80s, but I'm still mystified as to why Georgina Spelvin could never quite cross over - she could easily hold her own among a number of so-called accomplished actresses. Oh, and look for a brief cameo from Peter Scolari of "Bosom Buddies" fame in his first film role!

The production values of the film are noteworthy, too, with beautiful costumes and sets that represent in fine detail every decade depicted on screen.

And while this movie is no Oscar contender, after watching it, you can't help but wonder where adult films might be today had the home video phenomenon not transformed the porn industry into the wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am DVD selections of the present. "Take Off" certainly gives you a glimpse of what can happen when sex and smarts get together.

I saw this movie the year it was released; I had just turned 18. It still is the only porno movie I have seen that was funny and had a plot. The movie consists of a series of movie parodies (take offs), well, hardcore parodies. maybe it was my age, maybe it was the 70s, but I remember it as a lot of fun; and if I could find a copy I would see it again.

Could only wish there was just one more film of this quality out there. This is the only "keeper" I own.

The scene with Annette Haven & Wade Nichols is shot with the greatest lighting of any I've ever come across.

Goofy opening should not sway you, stay with it... more wonderful as it goes along.

'20 era in b&w is shadowed in a amber that give a nice effect. '30's has beautiful girls. '40's teeny bopper is smoldering.(+ the A.H.& W.N. scene) '50s is fun & sexy. '60s is over done just a little. '70s makes you wish you could go back....

This is the most original adult movie I have ever seen, the idea is so good I would like to see it in regular movie. I have not seen this movie in over 20 years and I would love to buy If I could find it. Hollywood should take note and remake Take Off into a regular movie.

I had first seen the trailer for Take Off a couple of years back while watching another vintage 70's porn by Video-X Pix & was very intrigued especially since I am huge fan of vintage cinema of the 1910's-30's. though hunting down a copy at NYC porn shops always failed my girlfriend was finally able to find a copy online. Despite the usual technical flaws of 70's porn this movie really is an inspired effort & Wade Nichols could actually give a good performance. A great deal of thought went into this movie & it's a shame it isn't more well-known alongside say Deep Throat & Behind The Green Door as landmarks of mainstream adult films of the decade.
