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

Mord nach Rezept (Originaltitel: Prescription: Murder) ist ein erstmals am 20. Februar 1968 auf NBC gesendeter Kriminalfilm nach einem Drehbuch des Autorenduos Richard Levinson und William Link. Der von Universal Television unter der Regie von Richard Irving gedrehte Fernsehfilm ist ein Vorläufer der drei Jahre später in Serie produzierten Kriminalfilmreihe Columbo. In Mord nach Rezept agiert Peter Falk erstmals in seiner Paraderolle als Columbo, Gene Barry verkörpert den Psychiater Dr. Ray Flemming als Columbos Gegenspieler. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
