FILM 1908: DISCLOSURE

TRIVIA: Michael Crichton sold the movie rights for $1 million before the novel was published.

In the United Kingdom, the film's poster was removed from Liverpool bus shelters because it was considered too sexually suggestive, especially in light of the fact that Liverpool County Council had just run an ad campaign promoting the safety of their buses to women traveling alone at night.

Before the publication of The Andromeda Strain, Michael Crichton had written under many pseudonyms, one being Michael Douglas.

As filming neared completion, Caroline Goodall slipped on a water spillage in her home and broke her shoulder. She was able to film her remaining scenes by taking some painkillers and removing her sling.

Demi Moore biked 28 miles every morning pre-dawn to get in shape for this film. She'd given birth to her third child a month before she was cast.

A decade later, Demi Moore was sued for sexual harassment by the caretaker of her Idaho ranch, Lawrence Bass, who claimed that she hit on him in the same manner she used to approach Douglas' character in the film, then fired him after he rejected her advances.

After Tom and Meredith terminate their meeting, Tom goes home to his wife, and while they're in bed they watch a movie with a clip of Fred MacMurray explaining why men fool around. The clip is from The Apartment (1960) starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine.
