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.

What happens

Earl Carroll Vanities is a 1945 American musical film directed by Joseph Santley and written by Frank Gill Jr. The film stars Dennis O'Keefe, Constance Moore, Eve Arden, Otto Kruger, Alan Mowbray and Stephanie Bachelor. It was released on April 5, 1945, by Republic Pictures. The film's title refers to the real-life revue The Earl Carroll Vanities, but the film is not related to Earl Carroll Sketchbook, a film that would be released the following year. The song "Endlessly" was nominated for the 1945 Academy Award for Best Original Song. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
