The Wisdom of Eve

This may not be easy to find in text or on film but I remember reading the play Visit to a Small Planet by Gore Vidal and loving it way back when. It was made into a Jerry Lewis film
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054446/?...
I believe the film is available on Amazon Prime but I don't use any other online sources.

Thanks to Alana, here's a link to Wikipedia's list of short works made into feature films (it is not certainly a complete one, but it helps anyway):
