The Moonshine War 1970 Directed by Richard Quine

The 18th amendment prohibited drinking. It didn't say a word about killing, double-crossing or blowing things up.

A federal agent attempts to make some real money before the alcohol ban is lifted so he sets his sights on the whiskey cache of an old army buddy.
