News in Brief: Instant Dry Cleaning. A futuristic fantasy from Hungarian film-makers shows how the poor soul of the future who gets himself mud-splashed will get himself, his suit and the bouquet he's bringing to his girl, instantly dry-cleaned. Funny. Man rushing past pedestrians with flowers in hand trips and falls on wet street (pratfall). The man and others step into a tank, walk through liquid, and emerge apparently dry. People queue up to pay for services; our hero rushes through, drops money, and runs off with bouquet in hand. Those wacky Hungarians.
