The first relatively contemporary film that I'm aware of running
credits at the end was APOCALYPSE NOW.  There were a number of comments
about it at the time.

I also seem to recall seeing an older film (in black & white?) not too
long ago, where I was surprised to see the deferred credits--but my
memory may be playing tricks on me . . . again.
