Movie versions of Edogawa Ranpo works

On a slight tangent (TV, not film), there also seems to be a TV anime from the 1960s called Wanpaku tanteidan - わんぱく探偵団 for which Rampo is credited as original creator:

There's also the more recent manga and anime Nijuu mensou no musume - 二十面相の娘, which apparently adapts some Rampo characters.
