Parmi ses partenaires féminines de cette première période, citons Theda Bara (cinq films, dont The Clemenceau Case d'Herbert Brenon en 1915), Clara Bow (deux films), Priscilla Dean (deux films, dont Under Two Flags de Tod Browning en 1922), Alice Lake (trois films), Barbara La Marr (Le Prisonnier de Zenda de Rex Ingram, version de 1922), Gloria Swanson (Inconscience (Her Husband's Trademark) de Sam Wood en 1922), Norma Talmadge (trois films), ou encore Alice Terry (Les Quatre Cavaliers de l'Apocalypse de Rex Ingram, version de 1921, et Le Prisonnier de Zenda).

Parmi les quelques films parlants où il est crédité (outre le premier cité), mentionnons Ce n'est pas un péché de Leo McCarey (1934, avec Mae West) et La Toile d'araignée de Vincente Minnelli (1955, avec Richard Widmark et Lauren Bacall).

In "a New England city," Frank Skeffington (Spencer Tracy) plans to run for a fifth term. Skeffington rose from poverty in an Irish ghetto to become mayor and former governor, and is skilled at using the power of his office and an enormous political machine of ward heelers to receive support from his Irish Catholic base and other demographics. Rumors of graft and abuse of power are widespread, however, and the Protestant bishop, newspaper publisher Amos Force (John Carradine), banker Norman Cass (Basil Rathbone), and other members of the city's traditional elite the Irish Catholics replaced oppose Skeffington; so does Martin Burke (Donald Crisp), Catholic cardinal, Skeffington's childhood friend. They support the candidacy of Kevin McCluskey (Charles B. Fitzsimons), a young Catholic lawyer and war veteran with no political experience.
