Lord Justin Vulcan in A Hazard of Hearts
This was the first film I saw Marcus in, having decided to watch it because Christopher Plummer, of whom I've been a long-time fan, was in it. My attention was very quickly diverted to the hero of the film, Lord Vulcan (Marcus), who was suave and polished, and played this role with seeming ease. I was hooked! This film is great fun, almost all of the characters are over the top and there is a great feeling about the film as a whole. If I had to choose just one MG film to go with me to a desert island, this one would be it.
