Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the last officially sanctioned judicial duel in French history. Scott filmed it exactly as chronicled in Eric Jager's book.
Holofcener wrote Marguerite's chapter specifically because Damon and Affleck's draft centered entirely on the men's perspectives. She refused to participate otherwise.
