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

What Scoundrels Men Are! (Italian: Gli uomini, che mascalzoni!) It is a 1932 Italian "white-telephones" comedy film directed by Mario Camerini. The film was a great success, De Sica and Lia Franca became stars, and the song Parlami d'amore Mariù was a hit. Rare in Italian film history, it was filmed on real Milan locations; nowadays, it is a sort of documentary on what Milan was like in the 1930s. It was produced by Cines, with film sets designed by the art director Gastone Medin. The film was remade in 1953 by Glauco Pellegrini. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
