Entre los títulos se encuentran piezas tan emblemáticas del compositor y el director como el drama de aventuras históricas Captain from Castile (Capitán de Castilla, 1947), la aventuras de piratas The Black Swan (El Cisne Negro, 1942), otra de aventuras históricas titulada Prince of Foxes (El Príncipe de los Zorros, 1949), un western llamado The Gunfighter (El Pistolero, 1950) y el drama romántico Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing (La Colina del Adiós, 1955), trabajo con el que Newman se alzó con un Oscar.
