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
The Saint Takes Over, released in 1940 by RKO Pictures, is the fifth of eight films in RKO's film series about Simon Templar, also known as "The Saint", the Robin Hood-inspired crimefighter created by Leslie Charteris. George Sanders plays Templar for the fourth time; he made his final Saint picture the following year. Wendy Barrie plays his latest romantic interest in the second of her three repertory appearances in the Saint film series. In 1941, RKO replaced its Saint series with The Falcon, also starring George Sanders. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
