Worst foreign language performance of 1940


The award goes to the little girl speaking Dutch to the police.

Don't be silly. She was a little English girl learning Dutch, of course her accent wouldn't be perfect. What a tiny thing to pick on.

The character was a native speaking Dutch girl, so....yeah, I expect at least a passable Dutch accent. Just like I would expect a passable British accent from Kevin Kostner's Robin Hood and a respectable Russian accent from Sean Connery's Russian submarine captain.
