<p dir="auto">Maybe it makes the running time go by faster because it is a 2 hour long movie.<br />

<p dir="auto">Thanks. I am humbled. I hate Cary Grant though. Hes not an actor. He is a movie star.<br />
Put a muzzle on Tits Malone, PI</p>

<p dir="auto">It were 1930s, everyone talked like that back then in the movies.<br />
It is zeitgeist.<br />
The distinctive speaking style used in Hollywood films of the 1930s is known as the Mid-Atlantic accent or Transatlantic accent.<br />
This was an artificial, consciously learned accent that blended features of American English and British Received Pronunciation. It was not a naturally occurring regional dialect but rather a cultivated affectation taught in elite American preparatory schools and acting academies.<br />
Key characteristics of this accent included:<br />
A non-rhotic pronunciation, where the "r" sound was often dropped at the end of words or before consonants.<br />
Softer vowels, with words like "dance" or "ask" being pronounced with a broader "ah" sound ("dahnce", "ahsk").<br />
Clear, sometimes clipped, enunciation, partly a carryover from the stage where actors needed to be heard in large theaters before modern microphone technology improved.<br />
The accent was adopted by actors like Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, and it was thought to convey sophistication, education, and an elevated social status to a broad audience.</p>
