   Same for older films.  I remember a Dr. Who episode quite a few   
   years ago where they had somebody obviously not German trying   
   to imitate a German accent, which went horribly wrong.  But even   
   worse was when they had her speaking German.   
      
   Many English-speaking people misidentify an German accent in English,   
   at least in my personal experience.

   These days, that should be easy using one of the automated   
   translators.
