Nevil Shute's autobiography ends just after his dismissal as MD of Airspeed with a comment that his agents sold the film options for Ruined City in the USA, and this gave him a lump sum that made him well-off enough not to need to work again

HOWEVER: It does not state that the option was ever taken up. In the USA, Ruined City was published under the title 'Kindling' - which had already been used 22 years earlier in 1915 as the title of a film by Cecil B. DeMille

I can't find any evidence it was ever filmed, and I've been looking too

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
