How and why do accents change through the years?

Oh how I love the voices and accents of old-time radio or movies from Hollywood.
The american accents seem to change quite a bit in merely 50 years or so.
It's personal opinion for sure but I do prefer the actor's voices in Cassablanca then current day TV news anchors.
That makes me wonder what makes the accent change through the years.
