To me it looks like the original Yashicamat.
A quick search yielded the following image

I also think it might not be a Rolleiflex. Both
because of the markings on the crank bezel and beause the case does
not look right. However, I can't figure out what it is. I looked at
Yashica, Minolta, Ikoflex III, some others on the web but don't see
anything exactly like it. Unfortunately, the shot is very out of focus.
I cant capture the still image to try Photoshop on it for sharpening but
also I think its beyond Photoshop to sharpen it enough to see what is
actually there. Looks like there may be writing under the crank.

Ferdi: The design around the crank does not look a
Rolleiflex design; even the old Standard had a bright round metal
plate as basis for the crank. The design for the Automat crank from
1937 to 1980 had very minor changes, if itchanged something The
metal rings position- pattern in the YouTube camera look different
regarding the metal rims position-pattern for the Rolleiflex. The
camera in the YouTube image also shows two very narrow circles
between bigger rings, Rolleiflexes, at least most of them, don't
have these circles. Anyway, the camera front is not visible

the BBC channels I sax "The Ipcress File" once more

Caine and Nigel Green. I have seen the film many
times before but yesterday I first saw a TLR in the
film. I am not sure it was a Rolleiflex. It is in
the beginning where the scientist takes the train.
His aid finds out he has left his camera in
the car and runs along to bring it, only to
find out the scientist has disappeared. When
the aid opens the carriage, the TLR with crank is
very shortly visible.
