They stole that line!
in this film, Ellen Corby, the maid says something like "eyes that look you up and down like a searchlight!".
same line said by "Olga"in The Women, 1939 MGM..

i wouldnt say they actually "stole" it....i'm sure that line was uttered before "the women" & since. i've been hearing variations of that all my life. but i get what u mean, similar line in different movies. well people in real life say the same things about behavior they observe. i guess it wasnt ok in 1947 to say "he undresses u with his eyes"
sharei love how Ida in Mildred Pierce (1945) addresses a lustfully leering customer, "leave something on me - i might catch cold"
