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

Lilly Turner is a 1933 American pre-Code melodrama directed by William A. Wellman, starring Ruth Chatterton and produced by First National Pictures. It is based on the 1932 play of the same name by Phillip Dunning and George Abbott. Warner Brothers (which absorbed First National in November 1929) attempted to reissue the film in 1936, but the Production Code Office denied them a certificate. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
