I never noticed that before. Interesting ...
Either it's a sign that they are no longer "behind the wheel" of their own fates or else, possibly, Hitchock was trying to echo framing or a camera move to visually link the characters and getting out the passenger side was the only way to do it or else it's meaningless and it's just a coincidence ...
Because Hitchcock is a fucking hack.
C'mon, you know I had to do it.
Another Hitchcock auto-oddity: In Vertigo, no one ever stops at an intersection, or at least Scotty (? that is his name, right) doesn't. You see him come up to the intersection, and then drive right on through.
Despite the excessive number of times that I have seen Psycho, I can't take credit for noticing the oddity - that was a student's keen observation skills at work. I have also never noticed the Vertigo tidbit. I may need to watch it again....like I need an excuse.
