''The Robe'' sold more than two million copies without any reprint edition. Douglas sold the motion picture rights to ''The Robe'', although [[The Robe (film)|the film]], starring [[Richard Burton]], was not released until 1953, after Douglas's death.

Douglas was generally unhappy with the film adaptations of his works, so when he wrote ''The Big Fisherman'' as the sequel to ''The Robe'', he raised certain stipulations related to its publication. He said that it would be his final novel and that he would not permit it to be adapted as a motion picture, used in any radio broadcast, condensed or serialized.{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}} However, ''[[The Big Fisherman (book)|The Big Fisherman]]'' was filmed in 1959, starring [[Howard Keel]] in one of his few non-singing screen roles.

Douglas's last book was the autobiographical ''Time to Remember'', which described his life up to his childhood and education for the ministry. He died before he was able to write the intended second volume. His daughters, Virginia Douglas Dawson and Betty Douglas Wilson, completed the volume, published posthumously as ''The Shape of Sunday''.

Douglas died in [[Los Angeles, California]].
