In 1952 the story was turned into a film directed by Ralph Thomas and starring Richard Todd, Eva Bartok and Margot Grahame, with Canning adapting his own novel for the screenplay.[1] In 1975, the novel was adapted by screenwriter Alfred Hayes into a two-part, eighth season episode of the CBS private eye TV series Mannix entitled "Bird of Prey". It was shot on Catalina island, doubling for a fictional Latin American country. Most of the characters remain the same while Joe Mannix replaces Richard Mercer from the novel.
