The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Diavoli della strada ferrata (Whispering Smith) è un film muto del 1926 diretto da George Melford. Un detective delle ferrovie viene mandato a fermare una banda di rapinatori di treni: il soggetto è tratto da un romanzo di Frank H. Spearman. Nel 1948, ne verrà fatta un'ulteriore versione, Smith il taciturno, interpretata da Alan Ladd e, nel 1961, la storia diventerà una serie televisiva della NBC con Audie Murphy.
