The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Wedding Present is a 1936 American romantic screwball comedy film directed by Richard Wallace and starring Joan Bennett, Cary Grant and George Bancroft. The screenplay was written by Joseph Anthony, based on a story by Paul Gallico. The film was distributed by Paramount Pictures. Producer B. P. Schulberg was the firm's former studio head. The film reteamed Bennett and Grant, despite the fact their previous pairing Big Brown Eyes had not been a commercial or critical success. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
