Pink Floyd's Money

I suspect this film influenced Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. The film's title appears in the lyrics for band's song "Money", and those lyrics mention grabbing cash with both hands, as happens at the movie's climax.

Maybe, but maybe not. "I'm all right Jack" was (is?) a common British colloquialism. It means something to the tune of "I'm okay, so screw you."

It wouldn't surprise me if Floyd derived the phrase from the title; the film was popular in their youth.

The very last scene must of influenced Benny Hill with his famous 'girl chasing Benny' scenes.

Probably so but please, please, please....it's 'have' not 'of'. You don't sit down and 'of' a cup of tea!
