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

Temple Tower is a 1930 American pre-Code crime film directed by Donald Gallaher and starring Kenneth MacKenna, Marceline Day. and Peter Gawthorne. The film depicts the character of Bulldog Drummond, a British adventurer, and is based on the 1929 novel Temple Tower by Herman Cyril McNeile. It is sandwiched between more celebrated portrayals of the character by Ronald Colman in two United Artists films, Bulldog Drummond and Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back. Although described as lost, the film still survives, with copies held in the UCLA Archives. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
