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)
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Joseph Cotten, Teresa Wright, Henry Travers, Macdonald Carey
Visible crew/equipment: As the car/cab pulls out in the scene where the group leaves for Uncle Charlie's speech a man is seen disappearing around the right side of the house, but no one is supposed to be there but Young Charlie.
Suggested correction: The person who disappears may be a neighbor who is going to a walk. Why is not supposed to be at night near the house? There's no sense to support that idea.
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.
Herbie Hawkins: Well, if I was gonna kill you, I wouldn't do a dumb thing like hitting you on the head. First of all, I don't like the fingerprint angle. Of course, I could always wear gloves. Press your hands against the pipe after you were dead and make you look like a suicide. Except it don't seem hardly likely that you'd beat yourself to death with a club. I'd murder you so it didn't look like murder.
Ann Newton: God bless Mama, Papa, Captain Midnight, Veronica Lake, and the President of the United States.
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.
