## Traxectoria 
Wood comezou a súa carreira como actor e traballou como axudante de Cecil B. De Mille en 1915. Traballou como director durante a década de 1920 dirixindo algunhas das estrelas de Paramount Pictures, como Gloria Swanson e Wallace Reid. En 1927 entrou na Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, onde traballou con Marion Davies, Clark Gable, Marie Dressler, e Jimmy Durante. Na década de 1940, Wood dirixiu a Ginger Rogers no filme polo que gañou o Oscar á mellor actriz, *Kitty Foyle* (1940).

Wood faleceu dun ataque ao corazón en Hollywood, aos 65 anos.

## Críticas 
Wood era ideoloxicamente conservador e en 1947 testificou perante o House Un-American Activities Committee. Groucho Marx, que traballou con Wood en *Unha noite na ópera* e *A Day at the Races*, chamou a Wood "fascista" e alporizouse polos comentarios racistas de Wood contra os afroamericanos.
