Hello Anderson,
The film the "Gift Horse" starring Trevor Howard as Lieutenant Commander Hugh Algernon Fraser commanding Officer of HMS Ballantrae tells the story based on H.M.S.Campbeltown and the St. Nazaire Raid. Also stars Richard Attenborough.
Best wishes
Andrzej

There was talk of a film, a production company are involved but the project has stalled at the moment due to funding issues
Cheers
