A director by the mid teens, he worked in a range of genres before hitting his stride in the '20s with several handsome romantic dramas: "The Cheat" with "Pola Negri" (which he also produced); "The Son of the Sheik", "Rudolph Valentino"'s final film; and "The Night of Love" with "Ronald Colman". His notable films of the '30s include the "Colman" comedies "Raffles" (co-directed with "Henry D'Arrast") and "The Devil to Pay"; the "Greta Garbo" dramas "Mata Hari" and "As You Desire Me"; and "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney"; which the uncredited Fitzmaurice completed after its director "Richard Boleslawsky" died during production. ~ All Movie Guide
