It looks like it says SAAB on the back but it doesn't look like any Saab I've ever seen!

Indeed a Sonett III.

Seems to have the US sidemarker, the bumpers can't be seen here so 1970+

Wow, a lucky find! All the other cars in this film seem to be generic early-70s American cars.

Have you kept an eye on European cars? they usually pop up in this movies.

Yes, you see things like Beetles often but from watching films like this it seems like European cars were rarer in American back then then they are today, likewise in post-war Britian most of the cars seemed to be British.

I think the 1973 Chevrolet Impala on the right should be listed.

State of Connecticut is the headquarter of SAAB of USA and that is why we see a lots of SAAB in Connecticut and Boston, Massachusetts.

Indeed, it is 1973 Chevrolet Impala Custom.

Worth a page of own?

I used to have a '73 Chevy Caprice Classic that looked just like that one!

It does not seem to have the gas struts for the rear hatch, so that makes it a 1970-1972 Sonett III.
The color looks like 1972-1973 Midnight Blue http://jpowell.tripod.com/saab-97/#color
So the car in the movie must be a 1972 (like mine...), makes sense as the movie was from 1973.

What was used to hold up the hatch before the gas struts?

A steel rod.
