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

Hong Kong Affair is a 1958 American noir crime film directed by Paul F. Heard and starring Jack Kelly, May Wynn and Richard Loo. It was distributed by Allied Artists. Kelly was at the time starring with James Garner in the hit Western television show Maverick and the film's advertising emphasized this. The picture was shot on location in Hong Kong.
