Many times, and I think most of the time, we actually see the view of the film from supporting characters.
The most famous instance of course is the friend of the rough neck in OX BOW INCIDENT played by Henry Morgan. He is actually the narrator of the original story.
Others are not actually revealed, but pretty evident.
WESTWARD THE WOMEN is pretty obviously from the point of view of the most identifiable character, Ito, the Oriental servant on the trail. he says what each of us think on the journey.
FLESH+BLOOD has two different factions. Hawkwood is definitely the point of view of the royal faction. The two gay soldiers are quite obviously the point of view of the mercenary faction. One could say there is a third faction of "whores" for whom the "mother" character seems to be the point of view.
STALAG 17 is obvious with the narrator a supporting character
THERE WILL BE BLOOD, which is actually an experimental bit in which the usual heroes who would be forefront, are never even seen, to my knowledge. The "holdout" family of heroes, who would normally be the Swiss Family Robinson, the Sacketts, the McCahans, the Earps, are totally in the backdrop of the others. The point of view here would seem to be the adopted boy, who gets a true handle of the situation involving the raving lunatic monster who adopts him.
GUNMAN'S WALK is most likely seen and told from the appropriate POV of a minor character rarely seen, played by Edward Platt, who sizes up the situation squarely.
