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

Crown v. Stevens is a 1936 British crime thriller film directed by Michael Powell, starring Beatrix Thomson and Patric Knowles and featuring Glennis Lorimer and Googie Withers. It was made as a "quota quickie", a film made to fulfill a legal requirement at the time that a certain percentage of films shown in British movie theatres be made in the U.K. by British personnel.
