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

The White Parade is a 1934 film directed by Irving Cummings and starring Loretta Young and John Boles. The screenplay was written by Rian James, Jesse Lasky Jr., Sonya Levien, and Ernest Pascal, based on the novel by Rian James. Dedicated to "the memory of Florence Nightingale," the film follows the challenges and romances of young women training to become nurses. It received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Picture. The only known surviving print is held at the UCLA Film Archive. The print is in poor condition, with several frames misaligned and the overall image appearing faded and blurry. Additionally, near the film's conclusion, a "reel 7" title card briefly appears.
