Early Film Career
Marlowe first appeared on film in the 1954 production of Attila, directed by Pietro Francisci. Two years later, he starred as John Goodwin in an episode of CBS's anthology series General Electric Theater hosted by future U.S. President Ronald W. Reagan.
Marlowe often took film roles of dysfunctional juveniles in a series of films made during the 1950s, including The Scarlet Hour (1956) as the young rebel Vincent, The Restless Breed (1957), a murder mystery set on the western Great Plains and directed by Allan Dwan, and Riot in a Juvenile Prison (1959), as Eddie Bassett. Marlowe matured in Hollywood when films turned toward more realistic dramas with new stars like Marlon Brando, James Dean, and Jeff Chandler. "Those early movies made me somewhat of a teen icon," Marlowe recalled.

Famous quotes containing the words early, film and/or career:
“In early days, I tried not to give librarians any trouble, which was where I made my primary mistake. Librarians like to be given trouble; they exist for it, they are geared to it. For the location of a mislaid volume, an uncatalogued item, your good librarian has a ferret’s nose. Give her a scent and she jumps the leash, her eye bright with battle.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you’re making a horror film doesn’t mean you can’t make an artful film.”
—David Cronenberg (b. 1943)
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
