That was the fault of the film sound that Alan Blumlein didn't like. That's why he started his project to "make the voice follow the person". There was a period in 1950's when the voice did follow the person, especially in widescreen movies. Oklahoma! is a good example. But soon the dialogue was put into the center channel only.
