The switch? possible spoiler

After watching this lovely film a few times, I'm still not sure of this one point:

Is it explicitly shown on-camera where Josephine switches out Buster's film from the Tong war, or do we only learn about it, well, the same time Buster does (at the Yacht Club Regatta)? If it IS shown, I must keep missing it.

Anyone? Thank you! :-)

If the switch is shown, I missed it, too.

BTW, Josephine did a good job as camera"man" in that "pull back to reveal"!

Stupid!?! I never called you stupid! To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people!

It's not shown.

We see something to indicate that Josephine had been messing with the film cartridges. Buster even looks at her and asks her what she did.
