The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Lady in the Iron Mask is a 1952 American Supercinecolor historical adventure film directed by Ralph Murphy, produced by Walter Wanger and starring Louis Hayward, Patricia Medina, Alan Hale Jr., Judd Holdren and Steve Brodie. The film is a reworking of Allan Dwan's 1929 screen epic The Iron Mask, an adaptation of the last section of the 1847-1850 novel The Vicomte de Bragelonne by Alexandre Dumas, which is based on the French legend of the Man in the Iron Mask. The film's sets were designed by the art director Martin Obzina. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
