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
Smilin' Through is a 1941 American Technicolor musical film directed by Frank Borzage and starring Jeanette MacDonald, Brian Aherne, Gene Raymond and Ian Hunter. Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, it is based on the 1919 play of the same name by Jane Cowl and Jane Murfin.

It was filmed in Technicolor and was remade as a musical for MacDonald with several older songs interpolated into the story. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
