Cary Grant was never an "American" character. He was British from womb to tomb. He spoke with an English accent.. albeit with a flair all his own. Hepburn is distinctly New England, upper crust in most, if not all, of her films. Otherwise, I see your point. Often when watching films of the thirties, it's tough to distinguish the Yank from the Brit. ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems?
