Although twice referred to, SMERSH never appears in the official film series; first, in "From Russia with Love" (1963), Bond initially thinks he is fighting SMERSH, only to learn that the villains are from SPECTRE, including Rosa Klebb, the former head of operations for SMERSH who has secretly defected to SPECTRE. Bond's love interest Tatiana Romanova says she knows Klebb as SMERSH's head of operations, and obeys her orders, presuming them from SMERSH. Second, "The Living Daylights" (1987) features a faked SMERSH re-activation. Throughout, it is referred to with its full name, "Smiert Spionam" (alternative spelling of "Smert' Shpionam"), rather than the better-known acronym; General Pushkin, then head of KGB, says it has been inoperative for 20 years. SMERSH is also an element in the 1967 spoofed film adaptation of "Casino Royale" that centres upon Le Chiffre's attempted recovery of SMERSH monies via baccarat at the Royale casino.
