I Walk Alone - 1947 - 6/10

Successful bootleg partners Frank and Dink have a gentleman’s agreement.
Should one of them go to the slammer, his 50% share of the business will be intact upon release.
Honor among thieves, hey? Make a prediction.
Yes, once Frank serves 14 years, his buddy is all smiles and excuses.
“Agreement? What agreement? I don’t know nothing about no agreement?”
Swanky nightclub, femme fatale singer, crooked accounting, a frame job.
Typical elements for a Noir, yet this is slow and rather boring.
Best is Kirk Douglas as the swindling, duplicitous partner.
