Especially in view of tthe fact of where did rutherdord get his alcohol during prohibition?

Could Rutherford have got his liquor from a criminal organisation?

CaptainSchmideo

No no no.

SMERSH was a Russian assassination program run by Beria during the days of Stalin...

You're thinking of SPECTRE.

Thanks for the clarification.
I think they were also a part of the "Legion of Doom" during the Superfriends era.

Smersh was mentioned in Bond as well.

"Death to Spies"

Thanks for clearing THAT up!

"Smert Spionam (SMERSH)" was the "red herring" catalyst for the events in the first Timothy Dalton Bond film "The Living Daylights". What bothered me about this was the total lack of acknowledgement of the series continuity. SMERSH was already known in the Bond film universe alllllll the way back to "Dr. No" and especially "From Russia With Love." Yet in this movie, Bond, M, and all of MI-6 act like this is the first time they ever heard of it. You could argue that this was a reboot of the series with a new Bond, but then in the next movie, Felix Leiter mentions to his wife that Bond had been married "a long time ago" (yeah, like 20 years ago, in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." ( And, wow! That movie is almost 40 years old now!) So, obviously, this Bond was still supposed to be part of the overall continuity. I guess the only way they can solve problems of extended storylines with different actors is to turn James Bond into a Time Lord from Gallifrey who regenerates every so often.

Now that I've gone completely off topic, I am really enjoying the latest reboot of the Bond franchise. Daniel Craig looks the part of an SAS thug being forcibly refined into a suave, debonair killing machine. "Casino Royale" was at least half grounded in the real world (no giant facilities inside dormant volcanoes, no giant floating laser beams from outer space, and NO NO NO invisible cars!) I can't wait for "Quantum of Solace!"
