This accent actually prevalent in any US states or is it an exaggeration of the southern accent?

Very curious about this. I love it.

(from Australia)

@lolsillyskop It's the southern accent from georgia at that time.

@lolsillyskop It's more of a refined southern gentleman accent from Georgia at that time. It was meant to imply education which wasn't that common for Southerners at that time. There wasn't really a public school system until after Reconstruction which happened after the American Civil War ended in 1865. "Doc" Holiday was actually a dentist by trade but he wasn't able to do that after he got tuberculosis that's why he can speak Latin in the movie.

@lolsillyskop brad pitt does a much better rendition of this form of accent in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and some people still talk a bit like this in very very rural southern areas.

I wonder if Ringo was scared of Doc. I mean I think deep down inside he tried to act like he wasn't but in this scene he really looked scared. Val Kilmer killed this performance and he should have won Best Supporting Actor, amazing scene. Amazing movie ever.
