Stanley Baker’s Bond
Iron-jawed British actor Stanley Baker was “considered” for James Bond… ironically he resembles Sean Connery and starred in HELL DRIVERS that a young Connery began in…

Skip over a decade later, after a now-legendary Connery left the role, Baker starred in a movie so Bondish that, by hearing the flauntingly jazzy, repetitive score, you’d think INNOCENT BYSTANDERS was yet another 007 entry…

Including power-hungry villains, led by the most famous of Bond foes, Donald Pleasence, danging a carrot to lesser corporate heavy Dana Andrews…

The first who Baker’s agent/assassin John Craig works for, sent on what’s basically a suicide mission to retrieve a Jewish scientist, making the action-packed scenes where he’s in the dark the best…

And ITALIAN JOB director Peter Collinson wields enough signature 1970’s zooms to put a dozen Kung Fu flicks to shame… BYSTANDERS even includes a few karate fights between “Craig” and scene-stealing mercenary couple Darren Nesbitt and Sue Lloyd, who call him “old man” and needed more overall screen-time…

Instead, the INNOCENT character in Geraldine Chaplin’s mousy ingenue, conveniently kidnapped and along for the ride, from England to Turkey, slows both the pace and Baker’s no-nonsense tough guy, who ultimately becomes so pitifully vulnerable, anyone expecting daring-do adventure from a daring-do adventurer will soon tire of the poor guy getting captured, and recaptured.

A pretty good spy movie
This one came in kind of late in that period of all the 007-imitation movies. Some of them were terrible, like “Operation Kid Brother” (which starred Sean Connery’s brother Neil!). And some were pretty good, like “Innocent Bystanders”. It is well-directed and its cinematography is excellent. Its rapid editing is really neat at first, but it gets kind of annoying after a while. Baker is excellent as a cold-blooded agent who has been double-crossed by his own people. I was amused by the constant bickering of Baker’s two rival agents. “Innocent Bystanders” also has a couple alumni from the 007 movies: Donald Pleasence from “You Only Live Twice” (the original Dr. Evil!) and Vladek Sheybal from “From Russia With Love”. If you in the mood for a dark spy adventure, “Innocent Bystanders” is for you.
