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 Lady Lies is a 1929 American Pre-Code drama film directed by Hobart Henley, and starring Walter Huston, Claudette Colbert, and Charles Ruggles. As was common during the early sound era, multiple-language versions were shot at the Joinville Studios in Paris for release in their respective markets, including a Swedish version titled The Two of Us.
