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
"Rope" is a 1959 Australian TV play based on the play by Patrick Hamilton. It was part of Shell Presents. It aired on 31 October 1959 in Melbourne, and a tapped version aired on 15 November 1959 in Sydney. The play Rope had been filmed for Australian television by the ABC in 1957. It was one of several Patrick Hamilton adaptations done on Australian television. (Murder mysteries were popular on Australian television at the time.) It was also arguably one of the first depictions of queer characters on Australian television. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
