He entered the film industry in the 1920s, beginning in the art and costume departments.

According to Powell in his A Life in Movies, the United States was the only market in which the film's name was changed, except that most European countries used "A Question of Life and Death" rather than "A Matter of Life and Death". The American title was the idea of Arthur Krim and Robert Benjamin, two lawyers just starting out in the film business, who would be marketing the film in the US, and insisted that no film had ever done well there with the word "death" in the title. When Pressburger countered with the hit film Death Takes a Holiday, their response was to point out that it succeeded because the very fact that Death was on holiday meant that there would be no death in the film.Powell 1986, pp. 486-87.
Walton also directed at least two shorts in 1911: April Fool for Edison Studios and the comedy-fantasy production An Old-Time Nightmare for Powers. In 1911, he would focus on his stage career, during which he appeared in over a dozen plays on Broadway between 1911 and 1922, before returning to the screen in 1924 to perform in The Fast Set. Over the next 12 years, Walton would appear in over 40 films, mostly in supporting or smaller roles. Some of the more notable films in which Walton acted include: Sin Takes a Holiday, starring Constance Bennett, Kenneth MacKenna, and Basil Rathbone; the 1935 Frank Capra classic romantic comedy It Happened One Night, starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert; and Little Lord Fauntleroy in 1936, starring Freddie Bartholomew, Dolores Costello Barrymore, and C.

Outward Bound was the most popular play of its kind, in an era filled with philosophical fantasy works for the stage and screen, including Death Takes a Holiday (which was filmed in 1934, and subsequently remade as Meet Joe Black); and The Scoundrel; in the years preceding the Great Depression, the play seemed to define the zeitgeist of the period, and it endured in popularity right up through the advent of World War II. Warner Bros. made a partly successful attempt at updating the play to the Second World War in the form of Between Two Worlds (1944), directed by Edward A. Blatt and starring John Garfield, Eleanor Parker, and Sydney Greenstreet (as the Examiner). None of Vane's other works, including Time Gentlemen, Please!, Marine Parade, Falling Leaves, Overture, and Man Overboard, ever found the popularity of Outward Bound.

Courting disaster, Bernard is vocal and arrogant about his criticisms, and his boss contemplates exiling him to Iceland because of his nonconformity.

Bernard takes a holiday with Lenina outside the World State to a Savage Reservation in New Mexico, in which the two observe natural-born people, disease, the ageing process, other languages, and religious lifestyles for the first time (the culture of the village folk resembles the contemporary Native American groups of the region, descendants of the Anasazi, including the Puebloan peoples of Acoma, Laguna and Zuni). Bernard and Lenina witness a violent public ritual and then encounter Linda, a woman originally from the World State who is living on the reservation with her son John, now a young man.
