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.

How it feels

A woman is pulled between two very different men in her life. Her choices set off a chain of personal conflicts. The story moves from America to a recreation of Paris's Cafe de la Paix.

What happens

Men in Her Life is a 1931 American pre-Code drama film directed by William Beaudine and starring Lois Moran, Charles Bickford and Victor Varconi. It was based on a 1930 novel by Warner Fabian (Samuel Hopkins Adams). It was made during a brief spell Beaudine had working at Columbia Pictures. Critics considered the film one of the studio's better B releases. Part of the film was set in the Café de la Paix in Paris which was reconstructed authentically at the Columbia studios. Columbia also made a Spanish-language version of this film, entitled Hombres en mi vida. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
