The Name Dufrene (Dufrayne, Dufresne) Do you know it?

Posted : 3/19/2008 6:56:44 PM

I have this image in my mind of a man saying the name Dufresne (pronounced DooFrayne) with a thick southern accent and I cannot figure out where I have seen/heard it. It's not Andy Dufresne from the Shawshank Redemption and it's not Wylie Dufresne, the chef. It may even be the guy's first name, but he says it several times... Seems like it was a movie made in the south. Louisiana maybe?

It's driving me NUTS!

Does anyone have any clue about this? I know it's a long shot, but it's making me crazy!

Thanks!

You sure it's not Shawshank? Because there's a character in there with a thick southern accent that calls Andy Dufresne in one scene in the movie...says something like "Dufresne! Hey, Dufresne!" to get his attention.

(I asked the film geek hubby, that's the only one he can think of.)

The first thing that popped into my head was O Brother Where Art Thou, but this is not substantiated by my Internet research...

Something makes me think about the Oliver Stone flick "JFK." But that's just a knee-jerk reaction.

I happened to pull out Shawshank and watch it again when I was home on Monday afternoon. Red's character constantly uses Andy's last name.

I wonder if I mentally projected my watching it and subsequent conversations about it to you...(Twilight Zone...dooo...dooo...dooo...dooo).
