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.

Fields and Jerome Chodorov is based on their 1940 play of the same name, inspired by Ruth McKenney's autobiographical short stories first published in The New Yorker. The supporting cast features George Tobias, Allyn Joslyn, Grant Mitchell, Gordon Jones, and The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard) in a cameo appearance.
