He later often worked in Alaska, where he filmed pipeline installations, Inuit, bush pilots and gold diggers.[4] In 1967 he and Ray Genet tried to climb the Mount McKinley but had to cancel their trip shortly before reaching the mountain top. In 1974 Schliessler survived a plane crash and filmed the rescue efforts during the next days.
In 1956 he married Anemone Heim, daughter of Rosel Heim (co-founder of Sans Souci Cosmetics).[1] Martin is the father of equestrian Barbara (Schliessler) Marks (born 1958), cinematographer Tobias A.
