Chase - James Hadley Chase was wildly popular in Asia and Africa. He also enjoyed success in France and Italy where more than twenty of his books were made into movies. Joseph Losey's film version of Chase's thriller EVE (1945), made in 1962, was cut by the producers, the Hakim brothers. In the story Stanley Baker played by a British writer, Tyvian, who is obsessed by a cold-hearted femme fatale, Eve. 'Do you know how much this weekend's going to cost me?' he asks Eve. 'Two friends, thirty thousand dollars …and a wife.' Robert Aldrich's gangster film The Grissom Gang (1971) was based on No Orchids for Miss Blandish, and presented a wide variety of depraved criminals. He was also extremely popular in Soviet Union during and after the perestroika years around 1990-1993.
