I think the point was that the chimes tipped her off and she did more research to be sure.
I introduce you to Christine Ouzounian, the attractive, blonde nanny of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner and allegedly the cause of their split.
The 1960 Disney film POLLYANNA begins with a bare-assed boy swinging from a rope into the river, just before "Walt Disney Presents" flashes on the screen:

"You have to remember tis movie was filmed 21 years ago now, and Rosie was just a stand up comedian , not that well known,"
Uh, by 1995, when this movie came out, Rosie O'Donnell was pretty well-known to a lot of the American public. She had had major supporting roles in A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (1992), SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE (1993), and THE FLINTSTONES (1994), all of which were huge hits at the box office!
More recently, ROSEANNE redux became THE CONNERS.
"Horschak's Law" from Season 3.
THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK takes place entirely in a warehouse attic.
But it happens early in the movie, which isn't all about the babysitter's death. Heck, the trailer/TV spots and reviews gave that away, as well, so it was no big spoiler.
Face it: The majority of interior decorators are women.
"Then again, I listen to a lot of old time radio, and you can still detect a faint trace of a remaining British accent among some of the American actors, as recently as the 1940’s." ~ wanton87 (916)
You're thinking of the Mid-Atlantic accent (British/American hybrid) which was adopted by many American actors/broadcasters in the early 20th century. However, it was a made-up accent created by the Northeast elite in the late 1800s to differentiate themselves from the masses. Since actors (and others in the entertainment industry) tend to be pretentious, naturally, they took it up, as well. However, the average American spoke with a standard American accent, regional/local dialects notwithstanding.
Incidentally, the so-called King's/Queen's English that the Mid-Atlantic accent was trying to emulate was also concocted. According to historians/linguists, the English that the British and American Colonists spoke in the 1700s was similar to the standard American accent. Received Pronunciation was introduced to British English in the early 19th century, presumably to differentiate themselves from the Americans. Thus, when you watch movies set in England pre-1800s and they're speaking in Received Pronunciation, that is historically inaccurate.
LetThemEatCake, the film presently has a 98% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 95 score on Metacritic, so it's being well-received by critics. There's Oscar buzz for the film, its screenplay, and Chalamet, Hammer, and Stuhlbarg for acting.
Furthermore, even though CMBYN only opened in four theaters in the US over the weekend (two in LA, two in NY), it made an estimated $404K at 4 theaters, $101K per, the highest per-theater-average of the year.
