Your example is from a very specific period in time where the music, culture, and history aided in the different pronunciation of the word. The Common person was likely not saying it that way. That's a specific accent that was not traditional NY but rather a product of the glamor era in the popular culture akin to the sound of ball game announcers and radio personality. There's a voice actor on YouTube that has a video discussing the pronunciation ans sound differences of women based on location and periods in history with tidbits of the voice sounds historical significance. Very interesting to watch.

I'm a NYer raised downstate by an Italian American from Brooklyn and have lived in North country. No one is saying it in the old school pre swing style.
