In addition to the stylised fin or crest on the of grille the earlier (pre-flag) cars had a raised badge just above the central grille bar. A slight shadow on the movie vehicle indicates the badge could be present here. Therefore a mid-1936 Flying Ten Mk.I [10AS] or Flying Light Twelve [12ALS] which both had the Light Twelve body, and a split rear window. -- Last edit: 2023-12-22 15:05:41
