Postwar 8 Tourer in Hollywood Film

Greetings
from New Mexico, USA!
I've
been enjoying your website and learning about my new favorite classic
car. I'm writing because
of a video I own called 'The Man From Planet X.' There is a small
car in the film and I had a devil of a time tracking its identity, but as they
say, "Everything's on the web", and I eventually sifted through
Austins, and Morrises,
until I found the Standard Motor Company. I'm attaching a screenshot
I took from the dvd which I'm hoping you can post on your site. If you
feel some copyright info may be required, I would guess this might do:
Copyright
1950 by MGM Studios, USA.
The
IMDB movie website may have more if you need it. Keep those standards flying!

Many
thanks Larry,
In
fact you are not the first American who has told me about this. I have
featured the film and the car on our website
before:

However,
your screenshot is by far better than any I have before so I will gladly
publish it.
Many
thanks for your time and effort.
Kind
regards,
