Why would they pick a 37 year old man to play a high school graduate .. the same goes for a lot of his movies ... don't that realize that people do notice this and it's a very big age difference .
......
I'd like a chance t' shoot at an educated man once in my life .
It's bizarre watching a grown man act like an innocent teenaged rube. It's like the character has a developmental disorder and has the mind of a 17 year old as he physically nears 40.
shareI love Monety Clift,but he was simply too old to play the main charecter.

Clift was 35 during most of the filming, and turned 36 just as it ended. The OP's point is still valid, though.
