Film Deaths
- Carmen (Gypsy Blood) (1918) [Carmen]: Presumably stabbed to death by Harry Liedtke. (I haven’t seen this version, but I’m familiar with the story).
- The Eyes of the Mummy (Die Augen der Mumie Ma) (1918) [Ma]: Stabbed to death (off-camera) by Emil Jannings in her room; the scene cuts away to another room as Emil raises his knife, then cuts back seconds later to show Pola dying in Emil’s arms after the stabbing.
