The transatlantic is like a funky mashup of American and British English, used mostly in classic Hollywood films of the 1930s and 1940s. You can hear this accent in all sorts of films from the era, like romantic comedies, dramas, and big-budget musicals. It was the signature sound of Hollywood’s Golden Age, used to give characters a fancy-schmancy, well-educated or upper-crusty vibe. Katherine Hepburn was upper-crusty and that accent came to her naturally 😂
