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.

It was written by H.F. Maltby based on the 1856 novel It Is Never Too Late to Mend by Charles Reade. The film was produced at Shepperton Studios as a quota quickie for release by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was re-released in 1942. The novel was previously adapted as a 1922 British silent film starring Russell Thorndike as Squire Meadows. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
