Where is it? East Germany? I won't tell that it is for sure not a Skoda, but with such headlights can be also a Jelcz 014 Lux.

In the movie it is Hamburg (BRD)
but this is a GDR movie from 1968 and so i think the filming location is GDR.

Definetely everything was made in the GDR. In the late 60ies nearly no East German had the chance to go to Western Germany.

By the way: Hamburg is not located at the ocean.

You'd have thought even the East Germans would have realised that. :)

Not all. They hadn't the chance to see Hamburg in real.

Perhaps I understood your comment wrong, but didn't you mean that it is not a Škoda? It it still listed as Škoda 706 RTO.

I thought it had been decided that the bus in the above link was a Škoda. Doesn't that make this one a Jelcz? (Headlights ...)

Maybe I've translated this too literally. :p
Generally such headlights were only in Jelczs - both Czech and Polish sources says that. But in Google I've found some recent pics of Skoda with the same lamps. So or 'sources' don't know something or after many years, during the restoration the hedlights has been changed. That would be strange, but theoretically possible, the buses were produced in both countires, but the small export/import of these vehicles between Poland and Czechoslovakia also existed.

Dobrze bardzo ... you didn't have to stay up till the wee small hours to tell me, though. :D

Suggestion: Škoda bus rear-ends something; Škoda don’t have the front panel, perhaps because the model is no longer in production, so they have to import it from Jelcz :think:
