Visible crew/equipment: In the pull-back shot from "Young" Charlie while she's in the library, the shadow of the camera is visible on her back.
Shadow of a Doubt (1943)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Joseph Cotten, Teresa Wright, Henry Travers, Macdonald Carey
When the police assume that they have caught the 'Merry Widow Murderer', Uncle Charlie decides to go back home for a while. On the train, young Charlie (who still suspects that her uncle is the real 'Merry Widow Murderer) & her siblings go on board to see Uncle Charle's room/cabin, but as the kids leave, Uncle Charlie grabs young Charlie and tries to throw her off the train. But young Charlie moves out of the way and pushes uncle Charlie off the train, who is then killed when another train going the opposite direction crushs him.
Big Evil
Uncle Charlie: How was church, Charlie? Did you count the house? Turn anybody away?
Young Charlie: No. Room enough for everyone.
Uncle Charlie: Well, I'm glad to hear that. The show's been running such a long time, I thought maybe attendance might be falling off.
Trivia: Hitchcock's cameo comes relatively early in the film - he is playing bridge with a man and a woman on the train to Santa Rosa.
