Title sequence for Aus dem Leben der Marionetten (English: From the Life of the Marionettes), a 1980 feature film directed by Ingmar Bergman and produced in West Germany. According to ingmarbergman.se, the film is about “a businessman with a tempestuous marriage [who] is subject to murderous impulses.”
The typeface used for the title card, the intertitles, as well as the end credits is Berthold’s Schreibmaschinenschrift, a generically named typewriter face designed in-house in 1969. Among digital fonts, EF Techno Script comes close.

Lars points out that the title designer used Schreibmaschinenschrift in the same way as Typeshop did in their c.1977 catalog: with decreased spacing, ignoring the design’s monospaced nature.
