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
Wings of Danger is a 1952 British second feature crime film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Zachary Scott, Robert Beatty and Kay Kendall. The screenplay, based on the 1951 story Dead on Course by Trevor Dudley Smith and Packham Webb, concerns a pilot who is suspected of smuggling. Jimmy Sangster was assistant director, Michael Carreras handled casting, and Phil Leakey did makeup. It was first released in the United States in April 1952 under its working title Dead on Course. It was later released in the UK (as Wings of Danger) on May 26, 1952 (on a double bill with FBI Girl), and it was re-released again later in Feb., 1953. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
