 Charteris would also refer back to the events of this novel on several later occasions, most notably in the prologue to "The Saint in New York".In 1943, "Meet the Tiger" was adapted as the motion picture "The Saint Meets the Tiger".Although the film takes some liberties with the novel (the character of Carn, for example, becomes Inspector Teal, Templar's regular police adversary in the film series and later books) and the plot is sparked by a murder on Templar's doorstep (which does not occur in the book), the basic plot remains the same.
