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

Cradle Song is a 1933 American pre-Code drama film directed by Mitchell Leisen in his directorial debut, released by Paramount Pictures, and starring Dorothea Wieck and Evelyn Venable. It is one of several films based on the 1911 Spanish play Canción de cuna by María and Gregorio Martínez Sierra. The play was translated into English in the 1920s by John Garrett Underhill. Cradle Song was Dorothea Wieck's first American film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
