I Walk Alone

I Walk Alone (1947) is a film noir to watch online on iFILM, directed by Byron Haskin and starring Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas in one of their first screen pairings. Frankie Madison walks out of prison after fourteen years. His old bootlegging partner Noll got away clean, opened a nightclub, and built a legitimate empire around it.

Frankie shows up expecting half of everything. Noll has a different idea — and enough lawyers, accountants, and muscle to make his version of history stick. Lizabeth Scott plays the singer Noll uses to keep Frankie off-balance, and Wendell Corey is the cold-eyed fixer who handles the details quietly.

Lancaster gives Frankie the weight of a man who came back to a world that moved on without him. Douglas is colder and more interesting than most of his early roles allowed. Stream I Walk Alone (1947) online on iFILM.
