Description:time; the present. at a lavish party thrown by an unknown host, a young lady, linda, meets a handsome texan and tries to discover who and where the mystery host is. exploring the house, they happen upon a room that unexpectedly turns into a projection room. the film that the two guests watch is a very old "stag reel" of a very old man seducing a middle-aged woman. later beside the pool linda meets the mysterious host, darrin blue. through a series of flashbacks darrin explains that the old man in the film is in fact, darrin blue. "take off" is a delightful update of the oscar wilde idea of a man who never ages; but in this case, his image on an 8mm film ages instead. but "take off" is also quite literally, a take off on darrin blue in those time periods actually becomes some of our favorite characters from the movies we all remember.
