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
Dream Girl is a 1948 American romantic comedy film directed by Mitchell Leisen and starring Betty Hutton and Macdonald Carey with Patric Knowles, Virginia Field, Walter Abel and Peggy Wood. Produced and released by Paramount Pictures, it is adapted from the 1945 play of the same name written by Elmer Rice. The film marked Hutton's return to the screen after a year long hiatus. Hutton, a singer and then Paramount's top female musical star who was rarely dubbed, is dubbed in the "One Fine Day (Un Bel Di)" aria from Madama Butterfly by soprano Nandine Conner. Dream Girl stars Betty Hutton as Georgina Allerton, a daydreaming debutante and Macdonald Carey as a newspaper man who's smitten for Georgina. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
