Hard to get a good description of this in the title, but I’ve noticed several movies/TV episodes with a shot of someone sitting in a car looking out the window with the scenery that they are watching reflecting in the window glass (A very recent example can be seen in the still image for [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBd9gcrj2Wk) YouTube trailer.) Any idea on the first time this was used?
