 I'd imagine this is a 1956-59 Fiat 1400 B, or (if not a Fiat) some derivative thereof.

Here're a few links http://www.autobelle.it/annunci/dettid.php?gb_id=64374 , and http://www.zuckerfabrik24.de/fiat/fiat1400A_1.htm .

 Main photo shows wide slat under side windows and 1400A's deco on engine cover.
I'd say it's more likely 1400 A (with 1400 B door trim added later).

 I have a 1954 Fiat 1400 A, and that one, as well as all 1400 A's (as far as I know), does not have an external fuel cap.
To fill up my A I have to open the boot lid AND then open a fuel cap inside the boot. Quite a hazel if you have a boot ful of stuff.

The fuel cap can clearly be seen in the thumb where the aluminium strip bends downwards again.

I rather believe this is a B.

Or a rebuilt/repaired A with B parts? Not unusual as seen in other mnovies...

I could agree with that. I'd be far too complicated to build a 1400 A/B as quite a lot differs them.

It is said that it's very easy to rebuild a (old) car today as we have the Internet. That is true with some cars, like Ford Mustang, Chevrolet 1955-57, MGA, MGB, Mini, some Austin-Healeys and some Triumphs.
What is a common thing between these cars is that they are all sports cars, apart from Chevrolet 1955-57 which is a legendary film car. Ordinary cars are much, much, much harder to rebuild. Partly because no new parts are being made, and partly because most older parts have been thrown away because of lack of interest.
