The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Divorce Among Friends is a 1930 American pre-Code comedy film. The film stars James Hall, Lew Cody and Natalie Moorhead. The film survives only in a 16mm copy made in the 1950s for television. The film was based on the story "Two-Time Marriage" by Jack Townley. The story had previously been produced as a synchronized sound film (with a musical score and sound effects) in 1927 under the title of If I Were Single. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
