Film Deaths

• Dance, Fools, Dance (1931) [Jake Luva]: Shot in the chest in a shoot-out with William Bakewell in Clark's hideout.

• A Free Soul (1931) [Ace Wilfong]: Shot in the chest by Leslie Howard in Clark's office.

• Night Nurse (1931) [Nick the Chauffeur]: Shot to death (off-screen) by his cohorts; his death is mentioned in a conversation between a policeman and the ambulance driver. (Thanks to Kris)

• The White Sister (1933) [Giovanni Severi]: Shot by German soldiers; he dies in Helen Hayes' arms shortly afterwards.

• Manhattan Melodrama (1934) [Edward J. 'Blackie' Gallagher]: Executed (though I don't know the exact method). (Thanks to Tracey)

• Parnell (1937) [Charles Stewart Parnell]: Dies of an unspecified illness, with his fiancee Myrna Loy by his bedside. (This movie is noted for its historical inaccuracy; although Parnell did die of natural causes at a young age, he had already been married for a year at the time of his death.) (I haven't seen this, but have read the summary in the book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time.)
