I remember first seeing this movie on TV and I also noticed the same
thing. . . . Car goes into alley on right wheels, comes out of alley
on left wheels.  When I saw the uncut film version years later as an
undergrad I was watching for that scene and got a bit of a surprise.
Evidently somewhere between the entrance and exit of the alley the
alley widens out, the car flops down flat, the alley then narrows
and the car goes up on the its other side.  In the television version
this scene seems to have been cut.
