The biggest stars, best directors, and highest production values; that is a QUALITY X film. These deluxe Blu-ray editions of some of the genre's masterpieces, along with plenty of hidden gems, offer beautiful restorations and plentiful bonus features, all presented in homage to its namesake of esteemed New York film distributor, Mature Pictures, the company which almost single handedly raised the bar for outstanding sex films, and whose films will be included in this fittingly elegant collection.
Invited to a lavish garden party at a massive country estate by a mysterious host, Linda is quickly chatted up by a wanna-be cowboy, Roy. After the two sneak into the property’s manor house, hoping to find a spot for a quick tryst, they end up discovering something far more intriguing: a mysterious stag film from the 1920s, starring a very old man. After returning to the party, Linda is soon approached by party’s suave and dashing Darrin Blue, who invites her on a drive and begins to share his incredible life story, from encounters with gangster molls in the 30s through to hippie freak outs in the 60s. But what is Darrin’s secret to remaining eternally youthful? Where Hollywood leaves off, TAKE OFF takes it all off, in acclaimed director Armand Weston’s (The Nesting, Defiance of Good) hilarious pop culture pastiche. Combining elements of Oscar Wilde’s “Picture of Dorian Gray” with well played satires of some of the 20th century’s most beloved and important films and historical events, TAKE OFF stars Wade Nichols (Barbara Broadcast, TV’s Edge of Night), Annette Haven (SexWorld), Leslie Bovee (Lustful Feelings), Eric Edwards Firestorm), and also features a guest appearance from Andy Warhol Superstar, Holly Woodlawn. With stunning photography by Joao Fernandes (Through the Looking Glass, Invasion USA) evoking the 1920s through 70s, and an AFAA award winning original soundtrack by Elephant’s Memory, Quality X presents this acclaimed hardcore crossover film on Blu-ray, newly restored in 4K from its best surviving negative elements!
