There are at least three interesting James Hadley Chase films
which you should try to check out:
Joseph Losey's "Eva" (1962), based on Chase's novel of the
same name, but changed radically.
"The Catamount Killing/Pittsville - Ein Safe voll Blut"
(1974), directed by the Polish Krzyzstof Zanussi (hope I got
the first name right), a brooding and slow account of a heist
going not very well. It's been years since I saw this and I
can't remember much of it, except that the atmosphere was
thick and the film very nihilistic.
"La Chair de l'orchid饯Flesh and the Orchid" (1975), directed
by Patrice Ché²¥au and scripted by Jean-Claude Carriere, a
strange and visually interesting ganster story.
It seems from IMDB that Chase is still being directed - some
films have been made in Russia! There are also some B-grade
thrillers made in the US.
