BMW R69 (1955-60)
It has R69 type head cover & exhaust pipe joint, and has older mirror & front dumper.

I am hesitant to debate your bike expertise, but I doubt it is an R69. All R69's (including the 'S') had the fork with the swing arm, which this -and the other BMWs elsewhere in the movie- lacks. Also, the R69 was an expensive and thus very limited model, therefore not used by the French Gendarmerie. Since these bikes have the tele-fork, I'd tend to believe they are 1951 onwards R60's. Does that make sense?

BMW used 'earls fork' (the fork with the swing arm) from 1955-1969. This is earls fork model.

Steering pipe switch looks small and mirror is old type. So the newer model (after 1960, R50S, 69S, 50/2, 60/2 ...) can be excludable.
The surviving candidate is three, R50, R60, R69.
Zoom this picture and check the cylinder, fin type exhaust pipe joint (nut) is visible.

So the only answer is R69 of 1955-60.

But my identification is also doubtful.
Since the captured picture isn't shows details and sometimes bruerred and I'm only one of the movie & car lover too ;)
