Body language { of which this is just one example, and doing and saying nothing is another) is a big part of communications. Newspaper firms employ Body language "interpreters" when they cannot get their microphones close enough.
That look earned her thousands - a lot of it from roles she played where that look would have been in the screenplay directions. It can be recalled by a famous line which simply says"A Handbag!!!"
In my teaching career I tried to use it for class control [ in a silent glare] but she was master of her trade.
In the UK before the advent of TV & radio, in a time when most people never travelled more than 5 miles from where they were born, the accent subtly changed every 5 miles.
I am of the believe that one reason for this was that of stranger danger alert ie. an instant identification of the stranger through his voice. . . Isn't this simply passing instant judgement?
With regard to those days you talk of, maybe it was more to do with sheer ignorance. I believe that in those days in the UK, they called each other 'foreigners' between regions. Lol

@Ryo1 My Island origin peoples called them "Come-overs"

Judgements are being made up at the time you see them. Perhaps maybe a part of human nature or instinct. When they start talking, some people are easy for others to read. But as they say never judge a book by its cover. I think it was Mark Twain who said "it's better to keep.your mouth shut, and to have them think you are a fool, than to open' it, and remove all doubt".

@FrayedBear I believe you pass judgement instantly it seems to me to be just a part of the human experience. It's how you judge them that can be either positive or neutral or negative. We are a mere collection of our experiences! IMHO
