David Thomson (Biographical Dictionary of Film) notes that
Kurosawa did a McBain adaptation before High and Low (1963).
"Kurosawa's eminence led in the late 1950s to his forming his
own production company. 'The Bad Sleep Well,' his first
independent venure, was based on Ed McBain and it was
enjoyable for the way Warner Brothers of the 1940s was turned
into Tokyo 1960. But the contrivance was weird and
unsettling."
Anyone familiar with this title?
