I believe the movie is 'The Driver', 1976, starring Ryan O Neal as the one demonstrating his a getaway driver skills in an underground parking garage. The car is a W108, I'm thinking 250S or early 280S, with a crappy canary-yellow repaint.
You can see the original cream color after the rear bumper gets torn off during one of the 'stunts'.

I have a late '60s Chilton Mdrcedes manual that states "radial tires are not recommended for Mercedes models with swing-axles."
Though having driven an early Fintail 220S, with Pirelli radials, for a few years, I never had issues with the handling, and believe the Mercedes low-pivot axle, coupled with not having an engine in the rear, did not have the potential cornering problems of the early Corvairs and Porsche 911s.

Happy Motoring, Mark
