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
The Perfect Crime is a 1928 American sound part-talkie crime drama film directed by Bert Glennon and starring Clive Brook, Irene Rich and Ethel Wales. The film is loosely based on the 1892 novel The Big Bow Mystery by Israel Zangwill. The film is important historically as it was the first sound feature to be released by FBO. It was the first feature film not produced by either Warner Bros. or Fox Film to contain synchronized sound, also being the first non-Warner feature to contain any talking sequences.
