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
Kanske en gentleman (Perhaps a Gentleman) is a Swedish drama film from 1935 directed by Ragnar Arvedson and Tancred Ibsen. The film script was written by Theodor Berthels, Berndt Carlberg (pseudonym Berco), and Ulla Kåge. It was based on George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion. The play also served as the basis for Anthony Asquith's and Leslie Howard's British film Pygmalion in 1938 and the musical My Fair Lady, which was filmed in the United States by George Cukor in 1964. The two Swedish films Kanske en gentleman (1950) and Fly mej en greve (1959) are also based on the play. The film had its Swedish premiere on August 24, 1935 at the Astoria cinema in Stockholm.
