none. only amerikanjd film made was made 1957(?)
( ibelieve it was of some nine story) mika- these stories 
are sacred and do not deserve to be killed by the crappy actors in 
hollywood(god i hate that word). furthermore, ol' jd probaly wouldn't 
release the rights to anyone unless they were REALLY good. well i 
don't know. i remeber hearing that he tells the publishers to throw 
away all mail, so maybe hollywood just can't talk to him.
