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

What a Crazy World is a 1963 film directed by Michael Carreras, co-written by Carreras and Alan Klein and based on the latter's stage play. The pop musical features various late 1950s and early 1960s musical performers such as Joe Brown, Marty Wilde, and Susan Maughan, and also includes an appearance by Freddie and the Dreamers, with Klein playing a minor role as a comrade of Brown's and Wilde's characters.
