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
The Gambler and the Lady is a 1952 British second feature ('B') crime film directed by Sam Newfield and starring Dane Clark, Kathleen Byron and Naomi Chance. It was written by Newfield and produced by Hammer Films, filmed at Bray Studios. Michael Carreras handled Casting, Phil Leakey Makeup and J. Elder Wills was Art Director. The film was directed by American Sam Newfield, but for labor quota reasons, a British director (Patrick Jenkins) had to be credited instead on the British prints (both were co-credited on the US prints). Filming went from May 19, 1952, through June 16, 1952, and the film was trade shown in the UK on Jan. 6, 1953. The film was released first in the US in December 1952, and then later in the UK in January, 1953. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
