Live and act

The son of a real estate agent and godchild of F. Scott Fitzgerald went to school in his hometown of Baltimore and then attended Baltimore City College there . It was around this time that he developed an interest in writing and wrote his own piece, which was performed at Princeton University under the title No Sun, No Moon . After arriving in Hollywood, Warren soon found employment as a screenwriter and was anonymous in the production of the manuscripts for the box office successes Mutiny on the Bounty and I Dance into Your Heart in 1934/35 . His main business in those years, however, were articles for various junk notebooks, film magazines and magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post. After his World War II deployment, which he spent in the theater of war in the Pacific, Warren returned to Hollywood.

It was not until 1948 that Charles Marquis Warren was able to accommodate his nominally first film script in the military film drama Beyond Glory with Alan Ladd and the screen debutant Audie Murphy . Warren's profession remained tough men’s fabrics, especially wild west stories that he wrote, staged or produced for cinema and television. These were all inexpensive B-Pictures with the differently popular genre stars William Holden , Gregory Peck , Gary Cooper , Jeffrey Hunter , Charlton Heston , Lloyd Bridges and John Agar in the lead roles. Warren also initiated the popular television western series Smoking Colts , A Thousand Miles of Dust (which he introduced to Clint Eastwood ) and The People of Shiloh Ranch . During the 1960s, when Warren focused largely on making these western series, his cinema career was on hold until the end of that decade. After about ten years of abstinence from cinema, he returned to feature films: with the script for a Glenn Ford standard Western and another, this time with Elvis Presley in the lead role, where Warren also appeared again as director and producer. In the mid-1970s, Charles Marquis Warren ended his career behind the camera.
