Dans le film Le Dernier Duel de Ridley Scott, une scène met en scène le vieux chant médiéval La Blanche Biche, interprété autour d’un feu par un personnage. Ce chant traditionnel datant du Moyen Âge raconte l’histoire d’une femme nommée Marguerite, une figure centrale du récit de la ballade. Il résonne avec force dans le film, car l’héroïne principale du Dernier Duel s’appelle elle aussi Marguerite de Carrouges, dont le destin tragique et courageux est au cœur de l’intrigue.
