I have so much respect for Stewart. Not only did he serve during WWII, (which many entertainers didn't), but he served in one of the most dangerous and demanding services. And he didn't just serve, he distinguished himself.
That Pennsylvania twang of his was so distinctive!
We watched our copy of The Philadelphia Story again not long ago, one of the best comedies ever IMHO.
Truly a great man.

"That Pennsylvania twang of his was so distinctive!" It's a decidedly Western PA thing. I grew up speaking exactly the same way, and when I went to Gettysburg College, 180 miles away, any number of fellow students commented on my accent and asked what country I was from!
I've lost much of it serving in the Army for 10 years and working with people from all over and living around the world and U.S. for the last 20 years, but sometimes it still surfaces.
