So not only is the honest, brave, shrewd Capt John E. Doolittle pursued by
the British navy (whose captains hold for him a sneaking admiration, so they
don't press the point too hard, except for the upper class, wet behind the
ears, fresh out of the Naval Academy types), but he is also pursued by the
wealthy and dishonest (overbilling, doublebilling, fee marking up) Malcolm
P. Waite (barrister, likely to burst into oratory without warning and on an
apparently random basis, as the mood takes him), who, truth be told, seeks
Doolittle not to rescue his daughter, but to avenge his own slighted honour,
and to avoid Doolittle's ex-wife, who despite being drop dead gorgeous, is a
pain in the domestic neck of truly biblical proportions.
Waite would obviously be dressed in white for contrast - 'If you're gonna
fight, clash!'
Waite would probably have a vicious and covert agent would he not?
