I've see the film of Young man With a Horn with Kirk Douglas not sure if it sticks to teh book much even if it's set in teh original era.
& I know I read Nausea in my teens and Brighton Rock somewhere along the way as well as seeing the films.

Young Man With A Horn the film has a lesbian subtext with Lauren Bacall iirc

The only three I've read are Murphy, Nausea, and Out of the Silent Planet, all of which I liked pretty well when I read them.

A note for 1939. The Christie with the offensive title is the most notable one. All of John Dickson Carr's novels were minor.
