From Russia with Love includes a healthy serving of such details, but now they are bound up in situations. For example, Bond recognizes a SPECTRE agent when the boor orders red wine with fish.

...Million Take. There seems to be no geographical limit to the appeal of sex, violence and snobbery with which Fleming endowed his British secret agent. In Tokyo, the queue for Goldfinger stretches half a mile. In Brazil, where From Russia broke all Rio and Sao Paulo records, one unemployed TV actor had only to change his name to Jaime Bonde to be swamped with offers.

She was just changing planes, she cooed, and was on her way for a three-week "vacation" in Asunción, Paraguay. Since sun-scorched little Paraguay is hardly a jet-set spa, rumors buzzed that she was preparing yet another Perón attempt at El Retorno. Peronistas...
