December 31 1941 

I WALK ALONE premieres in Kansas City. Directed by Byron Haskin. Screenplay by Charles Schnee, from the play Beggars Are Coming by Theodore Reeves. Burt Lancaster stars as a former bootlegger who is released from prison after 14 years and heads back to New York where he expects his now upwardly mobile old partner, played by Kirk Douglas, to cut him in on a share of his prosperous club operation. Lisabeth Scott completes the star combo as a sultry torch singer. Minor but solid noir drama.
