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.
How it feels
A newspaper columnist tries to revive a producer's stalled Broadway show by posing as a wealthy backer. A chorus girl and a dancer try to make their big breaks while romantic and professional complications pile up.

What happens
Broadway Melody of 1936 is a 1935 American musical film directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring Jack Benny, Eleanor Powell, Robert Taylor, June Knight, Frances Langford, Sid Silvers, Buddy Ebsen and Vilma Ebsen (in their film debut). It was a follow-up of sorts to the successful The Broadway Melody, which had been released in 1929, although, there is no story connection with the earlier film beyond the title and some music. The film was written by Harry W. Conn, Moss Hart, Jack McGowan and Sid Silvers. It was produced and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on September 20, 1935. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. In New York, it opened at the Capitol Theatre, the site of many prestigious MGM premieres. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
