I'm too lazy to double check the facts here, but, according to my
recollection:

Didn't he get into trouble when he was found in the choir loft with a woman
who was not yet his wife?

And he didn't he spend some time in jail for presuming to leave an
employer's service?

Also his long walk to Luebeck to hear Buxtehude play and how he extricated
himself from having to marry his elderly ugly daughter might, like the
other items, afford material for a film.
