THE KID WHO COULDN'T MISS has been the subject of controversy since its release in 1982. It is the fascinating account of how a brash kid from Owen Sound, Ontario, named William Avery (Billy) Bishop, became one of the leading fighter pilots of World War I. This film is a docudrama and combines elements of both reality and fiction. It does not pretend to be a biography of Billy Bishop. Certain characters have been used to express certain doubts and reservations about Bishop=s exploits. There is no evidence that these were shared by the actual characters. At age 23, Bishop became a hero and Canada=s most decorated military figure. Excerpts from John Gray=s play Billy Bishop Goes to War, featuring Eric Peterson, provide a thread throughout the film.
