There have been a couple of attempts to make a film about "Mad Jack" (and "Mad Mitch" and the Argylls), but generally the studios shy away from glamorizing real war heroes. This is, partly, due to cost (a big budget war film these days will knock the spots off $150 million) and partly due to the fact that the motion picture industry is two or three generations removed from WWII. To your average 30-something studio executive WWII is about as remote as the War Between the States, and they just don't "get it".
Look for Fast and Furious 4 hitting the silver screen before we see a big bux war flick about "Mad Jack Churchill".
