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

U-Boat Prisoner, also known as Dangerous Mists, is a 1944 American film. Direction was credited to Lew Landers. The script was written by Aubrey Wisberg. It was based on the book U-Boat Prisoner: The Life Story of a Texas Sailor by Archie Gibbs, who survived the sinking of two ships on successive days in World War II, the freighter Scottsburg, of which he was a crewman, on June 15, 1942, and the freighter Kahuku—which had picked up Scottsburg survivors— on June 16, and was taken prisoner.
