Movies based on books by Mary Higgins Clark

In 1982, the US horror-thriller, A Stranger is Watching was released in cinemas. The film told the story of Steve Peterson – man whose girlfriend and daughter are kidnapped by the same man who previously murdered Peterson’s wife.

A Stranger is Watching was based on the 1977 book of the same name by suspense novelist, Mary Higgins Clark. The film marked the first film adaptation of Higgins Clark’s work, but as it would turn out, it would be far from the last.

In 1983, a second book-to-screen adaptation arrived in the shape of the TV movie, The Cradle Will Fall. This television film was based on Higgins Clark’s 1980 book of the same name and continued to demonstrate how adaptable her work was. 

A third book-to-film adaptation then followed in 1986 via the big screen mystery film, Where Are the Children?. This movie was based on Higgins Clark’s 1975 debut novel and told the story of a woman whose two children are seemingly kidnapped.

From here on out, further adaptations of Mary Higgins Clark’s books soon followed, including Stillwatch, A Cry in the Night, Haven’t We Met Before?, and A Crime of Passion. The author’s books were also adapted into a collection of French TV movies, and well received. 

If you’re a fan of Mary Higgins Clark’s novels, then chances are you may be familiar with some of these movies. You may even wish to take a look at the adaptations you’re not so familiar with.
