"Who are you ..."
what is the origin of the phrase "Who are you and what have you done with ..."
as in "Who are you and what have you done with my wife?"Rather than a phrase it sound like a sensible inquiry to make of the stranger you find in your home when you return from work and find that your wife is unaccountably missing.
I can't specify a first use, but it's a cliche from old movies.
My God, has everybody forgotten the classic James Thurber cartoon "What have you done with Dr. Millmoss?"?
