I Walk Alone

I Walk Alone is a 1947 film noir directed by Byron Haskin and starring Burt Lancaster and Lizabeth Scott, with a supporting cast featuring Wendell Corey and Kirk Douglas. This was the first of five films that Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas made together over the decades, including Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957) with Lancaster as Wyatt Earp and Douglas as Doc Holliday, The Devil's Disciple (1959) with Laurence Olivier, The List of Adrian Messenger (1963) with George C. Scott and John Merivale, Seven Days in May (1964) with Fredric March and Ava Gardner, and Tough Guys (1986). Douglas was always billed beneath Lancaster but, with the exception of I Walk Alone and The List of Adrian Messenger, their roles were almost of equal importance. A restoration of the film played at the Noir City festival at the Castro Theatre in February 2018. The movie was officially released on home video for the first time on July 24, 2018. Plot Frankie Madison and Noll "Dink" Turner are rum-running partners during Prohibition. They are involved in a shootout with thieves attempting to steal their liquor, attracting the attention of the police. Frankie and Noll part ways with an agreement that if one of them should be caught, he will still receive an equal share after serving his prison sentence. Frankie is sent to prison for 14 years, and when he is set free, he visits Noll.
