In Bogart's Key Largo L.E.O. enters an automobile from the passenger door, and then slides across the bench to sit behind the wheel.
This isn't cinematic gymnastics. It was considered easier than walking around the car to the driver's door.
Yes, that's Edward G. Robinson in the foreground.

Try doing that with bucket seats and a center console.
I've had to do it when someone parked so close to my driver side door that I couldn't open it.
Lucky you didn't accidentally trigger the ejection seat. I hate it when that happins.
It's not complicated,
just a chair with rockets on it.
No landing wheels, so try to land
on a trampoline or haystack.

I don't think so but why should that matter?
Since it looks like the 50's, it is just surprising since people were more judgmental back then as I recall?
The hair of the person on the right looked long to me, and I think I see a breast?

The car does look to be from the 50's but the long hair looks like a "ducktail haircut" (also from the 50's) and I don't see any sign of a breast.
And if it were a guy you wouldn't see it, because his hand would obscure it?
R5, you are THE MAN !!
S2, you are THE MAN !!
It is not clear to me what the red circles area is?
It is not the woman on the left since the color is different, and the person on the right would not have anything sticking out that far if they were a man?

That's the sleeve on her coat. And if it were a breast it would be hers.
That would need to be a very baggy sleeve, but possible.
I also think the curves of the door are looking like more hair than really was also.
I must be getting old.
I'm swooning over the vent window, passenger door. Those were the good ol' days.
btw: this source says a modern car at highway speed is more fuel efficient with windows closed and A/C on
than A/C off & windows open. https://www.quora.com/Is-it-more-fuel-efficient-to-drive-with-the-AC-on-or-windows-down

I have not corroborated this, but one explanation for baggy garment fashion in the '50's is that WWII had ended,
rationing was over, and manufacturers no longer had to skimp on material for the war effort.
