His death occurred shortly after completing ''[[Joan of Arc (1948 film)|Joan of Arc]]'' (1948) with Ingrid Bergman, one of the few films that he did not make for MGM. Despite mixed reviews, Fleming's film version of the life of [[Joan of Arc|Joan]] received seven [[Academy Awards|Oscar]] nominations, winning two.

===Political beliefs===
It was reported in [[James Curtis (biographer)|James Curtis]]'s book ''Spencer Tracy: A Biography''<ref>{{cite book|first=James|last=Curtis|title=Spencer Tracy: A Biography|publisher=[[Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group]]|location=New York City|date=2011|page=417|isbn=978-0307262899}}</ref> that [[Anne Revere]] once said Fleming was "violently pro-[[Nazi]]" and strongly opposed to the United States entering [[World War II]]. According to the Fleming biography ''Victor Fleming: An American Movie Master'',<ref name="movie master">{{cite book|first=Michael|last=Sragow|title=Victor Fleming: An American Movie Master|publisher=[[Pantheon Books]]|location=New York City|date=2008|isbn=978-0375407482}}</ref> by author [[Michael Sragow]], Fleming had once mocked the UK at the outset of World War II by taking a bet as to how long the country could withstand an attack by Germany.

The accuracy of Revere's characterization of Fleming has been disputed, however. According to ''Victor Fleming: An American Movie Master'', Revere had made her comment because she felt she had been cast in the film ''[[The Yearling (film)|The Yearling]]'' over [[Flora Robson]] because Robson was British. However, at the time of the casting, Fleming was working on the film ''Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'', which featured a British producer and a cast largely composed of British or British Commonwealth actors. Furthermore, Revere did not know Fleming beyond their professional relationship.<ref name="movie master"/>
