John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill, DSO & Bar, MC & Bar (16 September 1906 – 8 March 1996), was a British Army officer who fought throughout the Second World War armed with a longbow, bagpipes, and a basket-hilted Scottish broadsword. Nicknamed "Fighting Jack Churchill" and "Mad Jack", he was known for the motto: "Any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed."

The stories about his exploits are getting wilder the more I dig. Still hunting for the right production lead to take this to.

This man amazing why wouldn’t them put his story out for everyone to know it’s like a real life superhero
the film needs making most people have never heard of him or the fact he used a long bow to take down a Nazi. possibly the last time an enemy of Britain killed by the longbow.
Man was a legend. Read about him this week in Country Life magazine.
He sounds extraordinary he deserves a film made about his exploits
This man was an amazing human being and deserves to have his story told.
This would be the best wwII movie! Certainly the most unique, at least!
I really want this movie made!

Please make sure that there are plenty of light-hearted and comedic moments during the movie. It seems as though he would have wanted it that way.
