Very interesting article on cultural heritage in American film and how difficult it is to keep dialogue sounding authentic with proper accents from specific regions. There is an SNL skit included as an example of an actor performing with a proper Philadelphia accent. Content is focused on Philadelphia and how their accent has not been traditionally featured in films. Sources include entertainment, scholars, and locals from the region.
