About Take Off
Linda sneaks into a manor house, discovering a mysterious stag film from the 1920s; after returning to a party, she is soon approached by 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?
Directed by Armand Weston, Take Off leans on a strong ensemble — Wade Nichols, Georgina Spelvin, Lesllie Bovee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1978.
