In September, Patrick Duffy and his Hungarian comedy Lepattanó (Bouncing), directed by Csaba Vékes, started filming in Vác, near Budapest. According to a recent post, the former Dallas star had time to discover the Hungarian capital, where he visited the House of Terror Museum, reports Világgazdaság.
A very important and moving experience that the world should learn from,”
wrote the actor in the museum’s commemorative book.
In the new Hungarian comedy featuring Patrick Duffy, for the main character played by Péter Scherer, button football is not a game but a serious sport. He and his team are preparing for the European Championship. They would have a good chance of qualifying, but are disqualified for financial reasons at the last minute. All their lives are in crisis, however, then they get the money of a businessman played by Patrick Duffy, and although they know the money is not theirs, they spend it on button football.
“Basically, when the phone rings and I am called for assignments, I usually get a call to shoot in New York or Canada. When I got this phone call from my representatives asking if I would come to Hungary, I jumped up. I was interested, but I said I would like to see the script first,” Duffy told Hungarian tabloid, Blikk. He also noted that he had never experienced how much viewers loved Dallas in Hungary, only now was he confronted with what the series meant in a post-socialist country.
What Dallas has shown, the possibilities, the dreams, opening people’s eyes to a country, has given the series a much higher value in these countries, a whole different kind of power.”
“However, I was not aware of that until I came here,” he emphasized. He added that people from the region tried to tell him about the experience of watching Dallas for people here. He also said that a Romanian director had made a film called Hotel Dallas, which was about the popularity of the show, but the actor said that coming to Hungary and experiencing it in person was indescribable and he was very grateful for that, especially that it was still going on.
