Make sure the problem is not at the switches; If the window won't budge either by the master switch or its own, then proceed to the motor;

Pull the door panel (and the water deflector sheet, if it's still there). Through the big opening try reaching the motor by a piece of 2x4, and just bang on it a few times. Window motors are very durable and the windings seldom burn out; however, the brushes do wear out and it is possible that when it was used the last time, it stopped in a position where it lost contact with the commutators. Often a little nudging gets it going again. Ask me, how I know...

belagatyo,
if he was to take out the motor, on that 1961 2dht,
what procedure would you recommned?

Remove the back seat (cushion and seat back), arm rest and trim assembly. There will be an access hole cover on the inner panel - remove that as well.
Remove the raar guide attaching screws and remove the guide. Unscrew the lower sash channel and remove the cam. Drink a little tonic. Loosen the lower stop and slide it down; Now the window can be removed after some jiggling.

Easy: Unscrew it and pull it out through the access hole;
