Amazons with Northern accents
I have not seen this film as yet, but have devoured the books for many years now and saw the 1974 film when it first came out. I did see the trailer for this latest venture and was somewhat baffled by the apparent Northern accents spoken by the Blackett sisters. Surely these girls, who are about as upper middle class as you can get, would have gone to the very best schools and been brought up speaking a sort of BBC English? I am not making a judgement here, as perhaps they make it work in the context of this film, but I would be interested to hear what others think.
