Hungary never had a "maffia" inspite of being near to Italy for 1000 years

>"know", in this case, was translated to Hungarian as "tudom",

The actor was obviously NOT Hungarian

It is typical a Holywood goof misleading the American viewers, just
like the invention of "Frankenstein" or "Count Dracula" in Transylvania
There was no such person (I am a count from Transylvania) but I am
repeatedly asked about Drakula's life story. Neither is there a Hungarian
maffia with a Holywood accent ("en tudom ot)".
But the film makers live in a strange virtual world where everything is
possible. I have seen a Western movie some years ago where some Indians
wore
wrist watches. And how about ZSa Zsa Gabor who was born in Austria and was
an Austrian even if Hungary was occupied by Austria at that time?
Austro-Hungary did not mean that Hungary was a willing participant, and Zsa
Zsa has never been a Hungarian. We were occupied for over 50 years by the
Austrians since our freedom fight in 1848 was squasht by Austria with the
help of Russia.
When I first arrived in the U.S. I was asked three questions by somebody.
First, "do you play the gipsy music with violin?", "no" I said, "I play the
piano" His second question was "do you ride on horsback without saddle?".
"no" I said, "I am a pilot flying airplanes" .His third question was "do
you like the famous Hungarian actress Zsa Zsa Gabor?". I replied "no", "I
don't like Zsa Zsa Gabor". My friend then declaired "You are certainly not
a Hungarian".
C'est la vie...

This group is called soc.culture.qc. That means it should talk about
Quebec's culture. This is also one of the rare french group of the
Net. This means that your posting should not have been done in English
or that it should have been related to it's orientation. Stop cross
posting!
