Smersh is a fictional global criminal organisation led by Jimmy Bond, also known by the cryptonym "Dr. Noah". The organisation appeared in the 1967 parody spy film, Casino Royale.
Background[]
In the the 1967 spoof film, Casino Royale, multiple 007s battle a far less serious interpretation of Smersh, led by the mysterious Dr. Noah. The 1967 organisation is an independent criminal organisation, headquartered underneath the eponymous Casino Royale, and has been eliminating agents of the world's intelligence agencies: notably, MI6, CIA, Deuxième Bureau, and the KGB. When the original James Bond comes out of retirement to deal with Smersh, they attempt to discredit him by destroying his "celibate image". In one of the few similarities with its namesake novel, Smersh agent Le Chiffre has embezzled their money, and is desperate to cover up the theft before he is executed. Smersh's greater scheme revolves around the neurotic plans of Dr. Noah, who is revealed to be Sir James' nephew Jimmy Bond. He intends to use biological warfare to make all women beautiful and kill men taller than he is, and plans to assassinate the world's leaders and replace them with evil doubles. Smersh is presumably destroyed when Jimmy/Dr Noah is duped into swallowing one of his own atomic pills, which subsequently explodes, destroying Casino Royale with everyone inside.

Trivia[]

"Jag to Dairy... Get ready to deliver milk!"
- Unlike Fleming's SMERSH, the 1967 parody organisation appears to lack connections to the Soviet apparat and is explicitly hostile to its intelligence agency, the KGB. In subtitles, its name is consistently rendered in the lower-case.
