I have seen neither film, but they both sound like derivatives of John
Morton's excellent two-man farce, "A Most Unwarrantable Intrusion."
Morton is best known as the author of "Cox and Box," which is probably
the second most popular farce ever written.  It was later set to music
by Arthur Sullivan.
