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.
How it feels
Two American soldiers deal with the absurdities of army life during World War II in Italy. Their antics and survival instincts drive the comedy.

What happens
Up Front is a 1951 American comedy film directed by Alexander Hall and starring Tom Ewell and David Wayne. The script is very loosely based on Bill Mauldin's World War II characters Willie and Joe. Mauldin repudiated the film and refused his advising fee, and he claimed never to have seen the film. It takes place during the Italian campaign of World War II. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
