Panther Or.....painther

[tali1]

If anyone has watched the usa film Track of the cat , they refer repeatedly to a Panther as "Painther" or "Painter"
Initially i thought i was mishearing , but do they pronounce it differently in the states ? Yet bizarrely the official trailer refers correctly as "Panther"

I heard "panther".
But I'm American so maybe I don't hear as you might.

1954, my Dad will have watched it am sure.

Maybe you heard panther because this is the official trailer, Pasta?

I haven't seen the film, but perhaps it's something to do with the accent of the particular area it's set in.

Funnily enough when I lived in the Carolinas I thought I'd hired a painter and a large wild cat turned up, wearing Puma trainers.

Was it in a Jaguar, douglas.

Dohhh!!
I blame the OP for posting it...;-))

[pastafreak]

Oh...and yes, it's probably due to a regional accent. Or at least an actor's idea of one.

A 'Bert the Cockerneee chimbley sweep' moment? :-)

Yep it does sound like 'Painter' to me in that clip, tali1.
