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

A Date with a Dream is a 1948 British musical comedy film directed by Dicky Leeman and starring Terry-Thomas, Jeannie Carson and Wally Patch. It was written by Robert S. Baker, Monty Berman, Leeman and Carl Nystrom. This was one of Terry-Thomas's earliest films and is reputedly partly based on his own experiences. Terry-Thomas was yet to develop his cad persona, and a then little-known Norman Wisdom appears in a very brief, non-speaking role. Its plot concerns a wartime group of musical entertainers who meet up a year after being demobbed and decide to reform their act. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
