For me it looks British.

by grille and 4 headlights,... with ( foreign ) bodywork of 1939 certainly.

thought it could be a
Daimler DB18 Drophead Coupé with body by unknown coachbuilder.
Link to "www.bornrich.com"
the size of a Daimler would be perfect, while Bentley is to large

..., with body made by Chapron, or Figoni & Falaschi?

The film was shot in Romania and the car has a Bucharest number plate.

I am re-adding this to the complete list, any ideas what this car would be?

In regards to this particular car, people on forums or blogs mostly suggest Letourneur & Marchand bodywork, but there seems to be no definitive answer. Salmson gets thrown in the discussion a few times, which I can see why as the grille does look very similar.

Some new info was discovered.

About 4 years ago Studiourile Buftea (Romania's biggest film studio) posted behind the scenes photos of this movie on their facebook page, which showcase this cabriolet in great detail.

One of the more interesting shots - interior.
[Image: 187655442_1024788558273725_7971538842604493369_n.jpg] [Image: 188514376_1024788438273737_4858407467658816084_n.jpg] [Image: 187608148_1024788251607089_2308441809573365533_n.jpg]

Unfortunately this doesn't lead to anything obvious, especially when this might just be another case of bastardised creation. As pointed out in the comment section of that fb gallery, the steering wheel is apparently taken from Lincoln Continental (c. 1946/47), the dashboard is from 1953 Buick (not sure, but perhaps, after some modifications), it's got fake supercharger, the entire rear section was supposedly redesigned to resemble 1930s streamlined car etc

Another commentator mentioned that some user on volganeagra (Romania's automotive history blog) stated that this is a Salmson S4-61 Cabriolet (1950) brought from France specially for filming, with a special bodywork, albeit the coachbuilder is unknown.

So, I take it that this mystery is now solved?
