I have seen it, the French film adaptation of Ordo I mean. It didn't do much for me. Whereas the adaptation of A Travesty (filmed as A Slight Case Of Murder) was really terrific. A Travesty was the other story collected in Enough BTW.

Some have, the Levine stories, for example, or the ones in Tomorrow's
Crimes. There was also a volume that had Ordo and another story. I
have never seen a comprehensive collection. He himself said that he
wrote many stories, especially in the fifties and early sixties.
Perhaps he didn't care to republish apprentice work?
By the way, Ordo is a truly great short story (although it is not a
crime story). Has anyone seen the movie made from this extraordinary
story?
