Hellinger began worked as a producer on B pictures such as The Adventures of Jane Arden (1939), Women in the Wind (1939), Hell's Kitchen (1939) and The Cowboy Quarterback (1939).

Hellinger also helped produce The Roaring Twenties (1939), his first "A" film.
He produced Bs for a little bit longer: Kid Nightingale (1939), and British Intelligence (1940).

Then Hellinger established himself as a top level producer with It All Came True (1940) starring Ann Sheridan.
He followed it with Torrid Zone (1940) starring Cagney and Sheridan, and Brother Orchid (1940) with Edward G. Robinson, Bogart and Sheridan.

Hellinger made two classics with Raoul Walsh: They Drive by Night (1940) with Bogart, Sheridan, George Raft and Ida Lupino; and High Sierra (1941) with Bogart and Lupino.
He made a comedy, Affectionately Yours (1941) with Merle Oberon, then did a melodrama with Raft and Robinson, Manpower (1941).

Hellinger went over to 20th Century Fox to make two films: Rise and Shine (1942), a musical, and Moontide (1942) with Lupino and Jean Gabin.

Due to a congenital heart condition, Hellinger repeatedly was rejected for active service during World War II.
Instead, he briefly worked as a war correspondent, writing human interest stories about the troops.

Back at Warners, he produced the all-star musical revue Thank Your Lucky Stars (1943) and made Between Two Worlds (1944), The Doughgirls (1944), and The Horn Blows at Midnight (1945).
