In many ways, yes. They were both wonderfully eccentric. In real life as well as in their performances. And they were both very talented actors. Maybe a tad limited in their range, a lot of their own character always shone through the character they were portraying.
The surprising thing is that they were hardly ever in the same film - maybe it was thought that it would be too many eccentrics in one film?
Of course we know that they were wonderful together in
The Happiest Days of Your Life (1950). They were both in
Innocents in Paris (1953) but that was an episodic film following lots of different people on a day out to Paris. And Margaret and Alastair didn't appear in the same scenes.
