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

Jazz Boat is a 1960 British black-and-white musical comedy film directed by Ken Hughes and starring Anthony Newley, Anne Aubrey, Lionel Jeffries and big band leader Ted Heath and his orchestra. It was written by John Antrobus and Hughes based on the 1960 novel Jazz Boat by Rex Rienits. The cinematographer was Nicolas Roeg. Many of the cast and the same director also made In the Nick (1960) which was a sequel although Newley plays a different role. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
