The Young Lions? Hardly!
More like the middle-aged lions! Brando, Clift and Martin were far too old for these roles.

They weren't exactly old, out-of-shape, toothless lions either. Brando was 33 during shooting, which is hardly old, and it fit his German Lieutenant character. Clift was 3.5 years older, but looked younger, while Martin was 40. Amendments to the Selective Training and Service Act in late 1941 made American males between the ages of 20-44 liable for military service, so men the age of Clift and Martin would've been drafted.
