I WALK ALONE (1947) B&W 97 Minutes 1.33:1 Not Rated
Byron Haskin (The War of the Worlds, Too Late for Tears) directed this classic film noir about two bootleggers on the lam. Partners Frankie (Burt Lancaster, Elmer Gantry) and Noll (Kirk Douglas, The Devil’s Disciple) split up to evade capture by the police. Frankie is caught and jailed, but Noll manages to escape and open a posh New York City nightclub. Years later Frankie is released from the clink and visits Noll with the intention of collecting his half of the nightclub's profits. But Noll, who has no intention of being so equitable, uses his ex-girlfriend Kay (Lizabeth Scott, Pitfall) to divert Frankie from his intended goal. Co-starring Wendell Corey (Desert Fury) and legendary noir baddies Marc Lawrence (The Asphalt Jungle) and Mike Mazurki (Murder, My Sweet).

I was introduced to this film by the Steve Martin movie DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID. Really solid film and an top rate cast.

I would rate it as a very good looking Blu-ray. The DVD beaver review is pretty accurate. I really think this is an underrated classic film noir movie and I would say it is the best Byron Haskin movie I have ever seen.

It looks very good. The film hasn't been fully restored clearly but this disc still gives an excellent presentation.

I agree with Chas, this is a hugely underrated movie. Not just an excellent noir but a classic of the gangster genre.

Have been waiting for this one for years! It's truly a miracle that films like this are finally seeing the light of day!

This is a great release from Kino Lorber! The picture is very crisp and it looks like it was just made. A classic noir film that deserves more attention.

Just watched this for the first time. Absolutely loved it. I suggest everyone pick this up in the current or future Kino sale. First rate thriller.

Just watched it for the first time, it's one of the most underrated film noirs.

Once had the chance to watch a pristine 35mm print of this movie, and it was a total revelation.

So glad there's a blu-ray for anyone who hasn't had the chance to watch in a theater!

Just watched my Blu-ray again earlier. Beautiful print. Love Burt Lancaster and Lizabeth Scott.
