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
Love Letters is a 1945 American romantic film noir directed by William Dieterle from a screenplay by Ayn Rand, based on the novel Pity My Simplicity by Christopher Massie. It stars Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotten, Ann Richards, Cecil Kellaway, Gladys Cooper and Anita Louise. In Italy, during World War II, Alan writes eloquent letters for his fellow soldier, Roger, to Victoria—who falls in love with the letters. Roger marries Victoria and then dies. Gravely wounded, Alan eventually returns home and meets Victoria, now suffering from amnesia and going by the name of Singleton. She is suspected of Roger's murder. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including a Best Actress in a Leading Role nomination for Jones. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
