Adaptations
The Last Mile was adapted for a 1932 feature film directed by Samuel Bischoff. The film took a number of liberties with the original story, toning down its grim realism and shifting the emphasis from Killer Mears (Preston Foster) to Richard Walters (Howard Phillips).
A 1959 adaptation starring Mickey Rooney as Mears was directed by Howard W. Koch.
