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

40 Carats is a 1973 American romantic comedy film directed by Milton Katselas. It is based on the 1968 play of the same name by Jay Presson Allen. The screenplay was written by Leonard Gershe (who significantly changed the ending). The film stars Liv Ullmann, Edward Albert, Gene Kelly, Binnie Barnes (in her final film role), Deborah Raffin, Nancy Walker, and Natalie Schafer. Ullman was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Actress, Musical or Comedy at the 31st Golden Globe Awards, and the Writers Guild of America nominated Gershe's screenplay for Best Comedy Adapted from Another Medium at the 26th Writers Guild of America Awards.
