George Marshall (director)
George E. Marshall (December 29, 1891 – February 17, 1975) was an American actor, screenwriter, producer, film and television director, active through the first six decades of film history.
Relatively few of Marshall's films are well-known today, with "Destry Rides AgainThe Blue DahliaThe Sheepman", and "How the West Was Won" being the biggest exceptions.
Marshall co-directed "
How the West Was Won" with John Ford and Henry Hathaway, handling the railroad segment, which featured a celebrated buffalo stampede sequence.
While Marshall worked on almost all kinds of films imaginable, he started his career in the early silent period doing mostly Westerns, a genre he never completely abandoned.
In the 1930s, he established a reputation for comedy, directing Laurel and Hardy in three classic films, and also working on a variety of comedies for Fox (Many of his films at Fox were destroyed in a vault fire in 1937).
Later in his career, he was particularly sought after for comedies.
He did around half a dozen films each with Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis, and also worked with W. C. Fields, Jackie Gleason, and Will Rogers.

Never Give a Sucker an Even Break
Never Give a Sucker an Even Break( known in some foreign releases as What a Man!) is a 1941 Universal Pictures comedy film starring W. C. Fields.
Fields also wrote the original story, under the pseudonym" Otis Criblecoblis".
Fields plays himself, searching for a chance to promote a surreal screenplay he has written, whose several framed sequences form the film's center.
The title is derived from lines from two earlier films.
In" Poppy"( 1936), he tells his daughter," If we should ever separate, my little plum, I want to give you just one bit of fatherly advice:
Never give a sucker an even break!"
In" You Ca n't Cheat an Honest Man"( 1939), he tells a customer that his grandfather's last words," just before they sprung the trap" were," You ca n't cheat an honest man; never give a sucker an even break, or smarten up a chump."
Fields fought with studio producers, directors, and writers over the content of his films.
He was determined to make a movie his way, with his own script and staging, and his choice of supporting players.
Universal finally gave him the chance, and the resulting film," Never Give a Sucker an Even Break"( 1941), is a masterpiece of absurd humor in which Fields appeared as himself," The Great Man".
Fields hand- picked most of the supporting cast.
He chose Universal's young singing star Gloria Jean to play his niece, and got two of his favorite comedians, Leon Errol and Franklin Pangborn, to play supporting roles.
Margaret Dumont, familiar as the Marx Brothers' matronly foil, was cast as the haughty" Mrs. Hemogloben".
