Concertina Sighting: Olivier w/ English Concertina

[Matt Heumann]

 

From the Epic Michael Powell 1941 classic "The 49th Parallel". You don't see many EC in films

I wondered what accent Olivier was faking.

He was playing the part of Johhnie the Trapper,  Canadian.

It sounded more like Outer Hebrides to me (I know nothing though).

He was doing a typical Hollywood French-Canadian accent, his buddy Finley Currie is a Scot, for real.

At leats he moves his fingers. Many pretenders don't even bother to do that.
