Captains Courageous (1937) [Manuel Fidello]: Reportedly drowned. (Thanks to Jennifer)
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941) [Dr. Henry Jekyll/Mr. Hyde]: Shot three times in the chest by Ian Hunter when Spencer comes at Ian with a knife. In death, his body transforms from Hyde back to Jekyll.
A Guy Named Joe (1943) [Major Pete Sandidge]: Reportedly killed in a plane crash while flying a mission in the Pacific; he appears as a ghost throughout the rest of the movie. (I haven't seen this movie myself, but have read the basic premise.)
The Old Man and the Sea (1958) [The Old Man]: Presumably dies of exhaustion and/or starvation while adrift at sea after struggling with the marlin. (I haven't seen this movie, but I vaguely remember the original story.) |
