During his six years with the band, he featured in a number of motion pictures, including The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi (1933). In 1938, Marcellino launched his own dance orchestra, operating almost exclusively on the West Coast, with long residencies at the Hollywood Florentine Gardens.

Marcellino had another string to his bow: his amazing talent at whistling (used only sparsely for novelty numbers during his big band days) which came to be effectively employed in TV ads, numbers written for Disney's 'Mickey Mouse Club' as well as motion pictures.
In addition to the theme from The High and the Mighty (1954), he is best known for his whistling on Ennio Morricone's classic western theme of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).
