- westurner 2y agoFWIW, "Smoky and the Bandit" was released in 1977 and it is about Prohibition in the US shortly after the ending of the Bretton-Woods gold-reserve system (1971) and then the CSA (1971) (Which failed, and caused violent organized crime, and was withdrawn by Constitutional amendment in part due to Al Smith).
