I just saw that movie featuring a gorgeous Italian car (& lady too!) circa 54. Does anyone know
what make/model it might be? Thanks

It is an Alfa. Which model I am not sure. I think a "golden arrow".

The September 1983 issue of CAR COLLECTOR AND CAR CLASSICS says it is a 1949 6C 2500
Alfa that was once owned by Hollywood movie star Tyrone Power.Arthur Allen wrote:
