I Walk Alone (Film) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles I Walk Alone is a 1948 film noir starring Burt Lancaster, Lizabeth Scott, and Kirk Douglas. The film was the directorial debut of Byron Haskin. This was also the first of several films that Lancaster and Douglas made together over the decades, including Gunfight at the OK Corral, The Devil's Disciple, Seven Days in May, and Tough Guys, all of which fixed the notion of the pair as something of a team in the public's imagination; Douglas was always billed under Lancaster in these movies but, with the exception of I Walk Alone, their roles were usually more or less the same size. Frankie Madison and 'Dink' Turner are two rum-running partners during Prohibition. Madison is caught and jailed for 14 years. When he is finally set free, he seeks out Turner for his share of their profits. Turner has used the money to buy a swanky nightclub and has no intention of giving Madison anything. He tries to pacify his former partner by making his girlfriend available, but this strategy backfires when they fall in love.
