I adore THE LAST DUEL but Matt Damon was and looked too old for THE LAST DUEL

Jennifer Jones’ Oscar-winning turn in The Song of Bernadette. Jones was ten years older than Bernadette was in the beginning of the film. Groundbreaking acting.

Virginie Efire who is now 44 played the lead in Benedetta who I think was supposed to be 30 at the very end of the film?
