Russhon's principal role on the film was getting permission from four government agencies and the U.S. Army to film actual Fort Knox exteriors at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Contributing to his high-level contacts was the fact that he knew Pierre Salinger, the press secretary of President John F. Kennedy. Kennedy was a James Bond fan himself and had listed the Ian Fleming novel "From Russia With Love" previously in a top ten list.
8In Goldfinger (1964), the sign on Fort Knox airplane hangar during the air-raid says "Welcome, General Russhon". He was a military liaison and technical advisor for the film and this was an in-joke made by the production team.
