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

Northern Pursuit is a 1943 American World War II adventure thriller romance film directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Errol Flynn as a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) who tries to uncover a Nazi plot against the Allied war effort. The film was set in Canada during the early years of the war. Walsh called the film a "quickie". Filmink called it "one of Errol's lesser war films and was far closer to the silliness of Desperate Journey than the more serious Edge of Darkness." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
