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

The Big Job is a 1965 British comedy film directed by Gerald Thomas and starring Sid James, Dick Emery, Joan Sims, Sylvia Syms, Jim Dale and Lance Percival. It was written by John Antrobus and Talbot Rothwell. The Big Job shared its cast and production team with the Carry On films, but the film was not officially part of the Carry On series, despite being a typical Carry On format. The film was photographed in black and white, while the Carry On films from the mid-1960s were in colour. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
