According to his son, Kit, Marshal was spotted by a studio scout while performing in a play in New York and was asked to do a screen test for Selznick International Studios.[7]
Selznick cast him in a supporting role in The Garden of Allah (1936) with Charles Boyer and Marlene Dietrich.
Marshal was loaned to MGM where he was in After the Thin Man (1936). That studio liked him and gave him a good part in Night Must Fall (1937).
Marshal was used by MGM for key roles in prestige pictures: Parnell (1937), playing William O\'Shea who was cuckolded by Clark Gable and Myrna Loy; and Conquest (1937) with Greta Garbo and Boyer, playing Philippe Antoine d\'Ornano.[8]
Walter Wanger borrowed him for I Met My Love Again (1938), billed fourth.
Marshal\'s first lead role was in a B picture at Republic Films, Invisible Enemy (1938). He went back to support parts for The Road to Reno (1938) at Universal, then was the romantic male lead in Dramatic School (1938) with Luise Rainer at MGM, a big flop.[9]
He played a similar sort of part in Four Girls in White (1939) then was Anna Sten\'s co star in Exile Express (1939) made at Grand National Pictures.
Marshal had a strong role in 20th Century Fox\'s The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939) supporting Basil Rathbone and Ida Lupino.
At RKO Marshal had a support part in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) and the lead in a B picture, Married and in Love (1940), directed by John Farrow.[10] He supported Anna Neagle in Irene (1940) at RKO and Loretta Young in He Stayed for Breakfast (1940) at Columbia.[11]
Marshal stayed at Columbia for The Howards of Virginia (1940) with Cary Grant then went back to RKO to play one of Ginger Rogers\'s suitors in Tom, Dick and Harry (1940), a big hit. He was second billed to Merle Oberon in Lydia (1941). In 1942 Selznick sold many of his contracts to 20th Century Fox including Marshal\'s.[12]
Marshal was second billed to Irene Dunne in The White Cliffs of Dover (1944) at MGM, a huge hit.[13][14] He was top billed in Bride by Mistake (1944) with Laraine Day, another box office success.[15] \"It\'s the third time I\'ve been discovered\", said Marshall, who was set to star in Claudia (1945).[16]
However Marshal had a nervous breakdown and did not act for a number of years.[17]
