I Walk Alone
Once I trusted a dame... now I Walk Alone
Directed by Byron Haskin
Produced by Hal Wallis Productions, Paramount Pictures
A classic film noir about betrayal and retribution, where a released convict discovers his former partner has cheated him out of his share, leading to a tense game of manipulation and moral reckoning.
Bootleggers on the lam Frankie and Noll 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. 14 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 to divert Frankie from his intended goal.
