I think this movie was later secretly copied and adapted by Donald Westlake, who used it as the structure and storyline to write the novel, "The Ax". The only difference between these two were just the background of the two protagonists. This movie was based on the novel written by Roy Horniman. The eliminations of the inheritance candidates and the job competitors were almost the same.
