He was described by Steven Spielber as an incredibly talented and was recognized by Kevin Spacey as one of the great filmmakers of all time.

They produced the comedy So This Is New York (1948), directed by Richard Fleischer, followed by the box-office hit Champion (1949), about an ex-wrestler (the film won the Academy Award for Best Actor (Kirk Douglas) and Best Editing), and The Men (1950), featuring Marlon Brando with director Fred Zinnemann.
Kramer produced at Columbia some controversial films, such as Not as a Stranger (1955), The Pride and the Passion (1957), The Defiant Ones (1958) starring Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis, and On the Beach (1959), about a nuclear war, starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, and Fred Astaire.
