Did you know

  • Trivia
    He didn't get along with star Errol Flynn while directing him in his adventure movie, Adventures of Captain Fabian (1951). Near the end of the shooting, Flynn had grown so fed up with Marshall's tyrannical ways that he left the set for good and had to be replaced by a stunt double in the final scenes. The film was a critical and commercial disaster.
