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 hard-boiled woman from New York is swept into a romance with a naive soldier on leave during World War I. She must decide how much of her true self to reveal as the relationship deepens.

What happens
The Shopworn Angel is a 1938 American drama film directed by H. C. Potter and starring Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart, with Walter Pidgeon in a featured role. The MGM release featured the second screen pairing of Sullavan and Stewart following their successful teaming in the Universal Pictures production Next Time We Love two years earlier. The screenplay by Waldo Salt is the third feature film adaptation of a Dana Burnet short story, "Private Pettigrew's Girl", originally published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1918. The first version was Pettigrew's Girl, a silent film released in 1919, and the second was The Shopworn Angel (1928), a part-talkie released by Paramount Pictures starring Nancy Carroll, Gary Cooper, and Paul Lukas.
