Adaptations
The story was adapted for the 1968 BBC series with Peter Cushing. The episode is now lost.
Billy Wilder's 1970 film The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (written by Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond) uses for its opening title sequence a montage of characteristic memorabilia (magnifying glass, calabash pipe, syringe) removed one by one from this tin dispatchbox at Cox and Co and held before the camera as music by Miklos Rozsa, including a plaintive violin solo, plays underneath. The voice-over narration by Dr. Watson (played by Colin Blakely) generally parallels the opening sentence of "The Problem of Thor Bridge."
