A film adaptation of ''The Pit'' was produced in 1917, by William A.

Directed by George Melford, [[Moran of the Lady Letty|the film]] starred [[Rudolph Valentino]] and [[Dorothy Dalton]]. * Norris's ''[[McTeague]]'' has been filmed twice. The best known version is the 1924 film entitled ''[[Greed (1924 film)|Greed]]'' directed by [[Erich von Stroheim]].<ref>{{IMDb title|qid=Q690583|title=Greed (1924)}}</ref> An earlier adaptation, ''[[McTeague (film)|Life's Whirlpool]]'', was produced in 1915 by the [[World Film Company|World Film Corporation]], starring [[Fania Marinoff]] and [[Holbrook Blinn]]. * In 1962 the [[Frank Norris Cabin]] was designated a [[National Historic Landmark]]. * An opera by William Bolcom, based loosely on his 1899 novel, ''McTeague'', was premiered by Chicago's Lyric Opera in 1992.

It runs from Polk St. to Larkin St. and is located parallel to and in between Pine St. and Bush St. in the city's [[Lower Nob Hill, San Francisco|Lower Nob Hill]] district. * A tavern on San Francisco's Polk Street, near Frank Norris Place, is named McTeague's Saloon in honor of Norris's novel ''McTeague'' (1899). The interior and exterior are decorated with objects and imagery associated with the novel. * The popular writing quip, "I hate writing, but love having written" is credited to a letter of writing advice written by Norris, published posthumously in 1915.<ref>{{cite web |title=Don't Like to Write, But Like Having Written |url=https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/10/18/on-writing/ |website=Quote Investigator}}</ref>
