Sonny asked:
"in what film(s) was parker portrayed as black american man or euro gal?"
Jim Brown played Parker (under the name McClain) in The Split, which was based on The Seventh.
And Anna Karina played Parker (under the name Paula Nelson) in Made in USA, supposedly based on The Jugger. Other characters are named David Goodis, Donald Siegel, Richard Widmark, Richard Nixon and Robert MacNamara, which implies Godard did not exactly stick to the book. Haven't seen it myself, mostly because Westlake hated it so much he kept it from being released in the States. I do have a videotape of it, but no subtitles, and my high school French is pretty much forgotten, so I've never tried to watch it.
