Traxectoria
[editar | editar a fonte]Comezou no cinema como extra a finais da década de 1920. Alcanzou o éxito con The Flying Scotsman, que o levou a ser contratado pola Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, motivo polo cal marchou a Hollywood en 1930. Tras dous anos de pequenos papeis decidiu volver ao Reino Unido, mentres a súa esposa continuaba en América rematando os estudos.
No seu país só traballou en dous filmes, polo que volveu a California. Preocupado por conseguir un traballo fixo foi xerente dunha gasolineira. Volveu ao cinema cando un actor inglés do filme de George Raft Bolero tivo que ser substituído urxentemente e el foi o escollido.
A partir de 1936 comezou a ter papeis protagonistas, conseguindo o seu maior éxito en 1945 con A fin de semana perdida, de Billy Wilder, coa que gañou o Oscar ao mellor actor.
Tras finalizar o contrato que tiña coa Paramount en 1955 comezou unha carreira como director, tendo grande éxito na televisión.
