After getting his start directing the live musical variety show "Your Hit Parade" in 1958, Jewison moved on to lighthearted feature films.

Jewison's success continued with The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966), In the Heat of the Night (1967), Fiddler on the Roof (1971), A Soldier's Story (1984) and Moonstruck (1987). In 1999, he reteamed with A Soldier's Story star Denzel Washington to make The Hurricane, considered by many critics to be one of his finest achievements.
