Several adaptations were made of Creasey's novels. On film these included: "Salute the Toff" (1952, also known as "Brighthaven Express" in the USA), "Hammer the Toff" (1952), John Ford's "Gideon's Day" (1958, also known as "Gideon of Scotland Yard" in the USA), released by Columbia Pictures, and "Cat & Mouse" (1958, also known as "The Desperate Men" in the USA), written as Michael Halliday. On television, a series based on the Commander George Gideon character, "Gideon's Way", was produced from 1964 to 1965 by ITC Entertainment and starring John Gregson in the title rôle. ITC followed this with a version of Creasey's The Baron character (1965–66), starring Steve Forrest. Between 1967 and 1971 the BBC produced a radio version of Creasey's Roger West stories with actor Patrick Allen in the title role as Scotland Yard Chief Inspector Roger "Handsome" West, with Allen's real-life wife Sarah Lawson playing the role of West's wife Janet.
