Influences Cardwell's editor, Michael Kean, has discussed similarities between Cardwell's 1967 story "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" and Michael Winner's 1974 film Death Wish. Cardwell's 1964 story "The Revenge" closely resembles a 1947 story, "Revenge" – attributed to an otherwise unknown writer, Samuel Blas – which was twice adapted for television's Alfred Hitchcock Presents (in 1955 and 1985), However, as Cardwell is not credited for these adaptations, it remains unclear whether these similarities are coincidental.
