MacMurray hat ein wunderbares Alltagsgesicht, er ist häufig Protagonist in Geschichten um einen Mann, der versucht gegen Windmühlen zu kämpfen, doch er ist nie wirklich eine Hauptfigur, geschweige denn ein Star.
Billy Wilder bleibt es vorbehalten, den anderen Fred MacMurray zu entdecken, das Doppelbödige, Hintergründige hinter dem unauffälligen Biedermann mit dem Dutzendgesicht.
In "Frau ohne Gewissen" (1944) spielt er einen Versicherungsagenten, der sich für Geld und ein bisschen Sex mit Barbara Stanwyck auf einen Mord an deren Ehemann alias Edward G. Robinson einlässt und - wieder bei Wilder - spielt er in "Das Appartement" (1960) den typischen Ausbeuter in der Maske des harmlosen Bürgers.

 My Three Sons
Upon Young's complaint about television's time-consuming schedule, MacMurray insisted on a unique shooting plan that was to be copied by other top actors and christened "the MacMurray Method." This so-called "writer's nightmare" stipulated that all of MacMurray's scenes were to be shot in 65 non-consecutive days.
Guest-stars often had to return nine months later to finish filming an episode; MacMurray's co-stars had their hair cut weekly so as to avoid any continuity discrepancies (MacMurray wore a toupee); and any unforeseen event (a sudden growth spurt, a guest-star's death) could cause catastrophe.
Despite the hardship on writers, directors and co-stars, the MacMurray method was adapted by a number of film stars (Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda) as a conditional requirement for their work in a television series.
