Fitzmaurice's karriere begyndte som scenograf. Hans primære karriere var som instruktør hvor han fra 1914 til sin død i 1940 instruerede mere end 80 film, hvoraf flere var succesfulde bl.a. The Son of the Sheik, Raffles, Mata Hari og Suzy. Han instruerede primært stumfilm.
The Son of the Sheik fra 1926 er hans mest berømte film. Dette blev hjulpet på vej af den pludselige død af filmens stjerne Rudolph Valentino samme år. Valentino var en af de mest populære stjerner i 1920'erne og en af de mest kendte stumfilmskuespillere. Hans tidlige død som 31-årig førte til massehysteri blandt hans kvindelige fans og gav ham kultstatus.

Still from the production of the American film The Witness for the Defense with Elsie Ferguson, Warner Oland, Wyndham Standing, and director George Fitzmaurice, on page 16 of the July 1919 Film Fun. The still caption is titled "The Gentle Art of Strangling a Wife" states: "Some men are born stranglers, others achieve the knack after long practice. Here, Warner Oland is showing his skill at the art, George Fitzmaurice, director, is egging him on, but Wyndham Standing doesn't believe he has the idea at all, says he isn't brutal enough. Elsie Ferguson, victim, is the only one who isn't interested."
