  Disclosure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the law of England and Wales, disclosure refers to a process that may form part of legal proceedings, whereby parties inform ("disclose") to other parties the existence of any relevant documents that are, or have been, in their control.
In company law, disclosure refers to giving out information about public or limited companies or their officers, which might be kept secret if the company was a private company or a partnership.
Disclosure is also a 1994 film starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore, based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton.

 Disclosure offers twist on sexual harassment case
I expected the story to exploit an "intriguing" twist: A man is sexually harassed by a woman and he decides to stand up and fight for himself (and, ostensibly, for men everywhere).
I thought it would be relatively predictable and not especially interesting; but Disclosure is entertaining from beginning to end because it keeps the audience guessing and the main actors give fine performances.
The film manages to be highly entertaining while it gives the audience a new perspective on some dangerous positions in sex and business.

 Disclosure DVD Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Disclosure is a special movie to me because it has a message that resonates with me. It's a message that should resonate with everyone.
In the film, while Tom Sanders is distracted by the sexual scandal, the real problem affecting his job is still simmering and must be addressed or his career is lost.
Disclosure is an older DVD (just ripe to be double-dipped for a special edition) and starts right into the movie without presenting a menu.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Disclosure | Deseret Morning News Web edition
However, there is an early indication that logic is not going to be this film's strong suit, as Douglas rushes to an important meeting and his daughter asks what that is around his neck.
The film's single worst element is Moore, and it's probably not her fault.
Her character is the film's ultimate cheap shot, and if the reverse sex discrimination plot doesn't bother you, her character certainly will.

The bill of greatest concern to us is the Film Disclosure Act, which would alert consumers to changes made in a theatrical film shown on TV and would give the director, screenwriter, and cinematographer a chance to object to these changes if they so chose.
When a film is advertised for viewing on television, either the networks or syndicated television, the public is given the clear impression that what they will be seeing is the version they saw, or wish they had seen, in the movie theater.
When the rectangular dimensions of a film's theatrical version are squeezed (panned and scanned) into the square f ox-Mat of a TV screen, as much as 45 percent of the visual image is lost.

Some may call the film sexist based primarily on the negative portrayal of a female executive and on the simple suggestion that a woman could sexually harass a man. An attempt is made to alleviate these accusations by including several strong, sympathetic women in supporting roles.
The film also includes a few strong scenes with other female executives at Digicorp, including one particularly effective sequence in which one of Sanders' peers asks him to think about why she wasn't even *considered* as a likely candidate for the promotion.
DISCLOSURE doesn't really succeed as the controversial morality play that is promised in the advertising, but it does work as a very entertaining corporate thriller.

If a film is released around the entity’s balance sheet date and evidence exists that a write-down of the film’s unamortized costs is required, then, if the entity has not issued its financial statements, it should adjust them for the effect of any changes in estimates resulting from the use of subsequent evidence.
