An English translation by R. Wills Thomas was published in 1938.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Leather-Nose|oclc=150500306 }}</ref>

The book was the basis for the 1952 film ''Leathernose'', directed by Yves Allégret and starring Jean Marais. François Truffaut prepared a film adaptation in 1984, but was too weak and died before it could be made.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Baecque|first1=Antoine de|last2=Toubiana|first2=Serge|year=2000|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a2H0AiDn4XIC&pg=PA389|title=Truffaut|location=Berkeley, California|publisher=University of California Press|pages=389–390|isbn=0-520-22524-4}}</ref>
