Improper Conduct is a film released in 1994 by Everest Pictures directed by Jag Mundhra and starring Steven Bauer, Tahnee Welch and Nia Peeples. [1]
The Chairman of an advertising company announces the new corporate manager at the company Christmas party - his son-in-law. This is a nightmare to the long time employees, but the nightmare increases when he sexually harasses the good looking women in the company. But after he assaults one in an elevator, she decides to fight back. Hiring an attorney, she takes him to court - and loses. Because of her desperation, she ends up being killed in an auto crash. Her sister then goes undercover at the company to take revenge on the manager.
Kevin Thomas of the L.A. Times says "Improper Conduct plays like a crisp, decently made TV movie, whereupon it veers unexpectedly and effectively in an entirely different direction. Having pointed up the pitfalls of women trying to fight back against sexual harassment, Mundhra and writer Carl Austin deftly move the film from courtroom drama to erotic suspense." [2]

Sex in film, the presentation of aspects of sexuality in film, specially human sexuality, has been controversial since the development of the medium. Films which display or suggest sexual behavior have been criticized by religious groups or have been banned or censored by governments, although attitudes have changed much along the years and a more permissive social environment has developed in certain parts of the world, notably in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. In countries with a film rating system, films which contain explicit sex scenes typically receive a restricted classification. Nudity in film may be regarded as sexual or as non-sexual.
