When was the first middle-finger used to denote contempt in a (mainstream) film? I don't know but there is an instance of it in Sergio Leone's 1971 Giù la testa (Duck, You Sucker / A Fistful of Dynamite).
This was perpetrated by Rod Steiger. In this film he and James Coburn also make a solid case that Keanu Reeves' accent in Bram Stoker's Dracula was not even close to being the worst in film history.

In 1963 Claudia Cardinale starred in Il Gattopardo (The Leopard) and The Pink Panther (La Pantera Rosa). I wonder if she thinks of it as the year of the cat.
