Works in other media
The 1956 Broadway play starring Rosalind Russell, and the highly successful 1958 screen adaptation that followed, inspired Jerry Herman's 1966 musical
Mame, with Angela Lansbury in the lead. An adaptation of the musical was filmed in 1974 starring Lucille Ball and Bea Arthur.
Little Me was turned into a musical in 1962, with book by Neil Simon and score by Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh, and Sid Caesar playing all the male roles. Bob Fosse won the Tony Award for Best Choreography. There have been several revivals of
Little Me, most recently in 1998 with Martin Short, who won a Tony for Best Actor.
Two of Dennis's novels were transformed into television sitcoms.
House Party (1954), about a supposedly wealthy family who were actually dead broke, served as the inspiration for
The Pruitts of Southampton (1966-67), starring Phyllis Diller, Grady Sutton, Gypsy Rose Lee and Richard Deacon.
Guestward Ho! (1960-61), about city folk trying to run a dude ranch in New Mexico, starred Mark Miller, J. Carroll Naish and Joanne Dru.
