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

Operation Dames is a 1959 Korean War film directed by Louis Clyde Stoumen and starring Eve Meyer. American International Pictures released the film in the United States as a double feature with Tank Commandos. It was retitled Girls in Action for release in the Commonwealth of Nations countries, possibly to avoid a connection with the honorific title dame. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
