After fourteen years in prison for bootlegging, Frankie Madison (Burt Lancaster) is released and returns To New York to meet his friend and partner Noll "Dink" Turner (Kirk Douglas). Madison has an agreement with Dink, who is the manager of a successful nightclub, to share half of his business since he did not rat him when he was caught by the police. Dink uses his mistress Kay Lawrence (Lizabeth Scott) to learn what Madison´s real intention are and his friend Dave (Wendell Corey) to explain that he has the right of less than US$ 3,000,00. Madison is not convinced and when Dink decides to get married to Mrs. Alexis Richardson (Kristine Miller), Kay teams up with Madison to retrieve his share.
"I Walk Alone" is a film-noir with Burt Lancaster, Lizabeth Scott and Kirk Douglas in the lead roles. The story of betrayal is silly with a man that spent fourteen years of his life in prison and is not capable to follow the advance of business and feels completely lost. But Burt Lancaster, Lizabeth Scott with her beauty ahead of time and the female fatale of this film, and the ambitious scum character performed by Kirk Douglas make this film engaging. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Estranha Fascinação" ("Strange Fascination")
