ADDITION: (July 2018) Kino - Region 'A' - Blu-ray: This is described as a "Brand New HD Master – From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Safety Dupe Negative by Paramount Pictures", although the source still has some speckles and frame-specific marks. It's on a single-layered Blu-ray, but looks pleasing in-motion although never really crisp. It requires a film-level restoration/clean-up but I am not looking this gift-horse in the mouth. It's a cool Noir and such an enjoyable presentation being superior to the old, unauthorized, DVDs.

Audio is transferred in DTS-HD Master (16-bit) in 2.0 channel. There aren't an abundance of aggressive effects - mostly more inferred violence aside from a long beating of Frankie (Burt). There is a competent score by Victor Young (Strategic Air Command, The Sun Shines Bright, The Accused, Johnny Guitar, China Gate etc.) which plays fairly subtly in the background sounding authentically flat in the lossless. There are optional English subtitles and the Blu-ray disc is Region 'A'-locked.

Supplements include an audio commentary by Troy Howarth who discusses Noir, the performers and director Byron Haskin. It has a lot of information and he talks constantly throughout the film. There are also trailers for 4 others films.

I Walk Alone boasts a memorable cast with Lancaster, Douglas, Scott and great support from the likes of Wendell Corey, Kristine Miller, Mike Mazurki and others. As described in the  commentary it's not a 'B' picture - but an A-minus. Noir fans will love it. I am appreciative to Kino for bringing this to Blu-ray! Absolutely recommended!
