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

El Tango en Broadway (English: The Tango on Broadway) is a 1934 American musical film directed by Louis J. Gasnier and starring Carlos Gardel, Trini Ramos, and Blanca Vischer. The film was a Spanish-language production made in the United States, for release to Spanish-speaking audiences at home and abroad without English subtitles. It was released by Paramount Pictures and filmed at the company's New York Studios. Gardel was a popular Argentine singer of tango music who made a number of films for Paramount before his death in 1935. Like Gardel's other American films, it is not a version of an existing English-language film, but a completely original story. By contrast, most of Hollywood's Spanish language films were remakes of English productions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
