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 Woman for Joe is a 1955 British drama film directed by George More O'Ferrall and starring Diane Cilento, George Baker, Jimmy Karoubi and David Kossoff. The screenplay concerns the owner of a circus sideshow and his prize attraction (a midget), who become romantically involved with the same woman. The film was made at Pinewood Studios. The sets were designed by the art director Maurice Carter. Filmink magazine called it "a rare movie to not only feature a short statured person in a lead role (if not the lead role), but to have him play a complex, contemporary, three-dimensional character... one of the most fascinating films from the Rank Organisation, and the studio had a lot of guts to make it."
