Charles Bickford arrived from the New York stage to play hero Hagon Derk. He is a singularly unheroic looking fellow in Dynamite, with an unruly mop of brick red hair and a surly expression. He tells of arriving in Hollywood for a decadent New Year's party at the DeMille ranch, a party choreographed to show the host to be a powerful and wicked pater familias. Bickford wrote: "My impression of him was that of a ruddy stallion, pawing the earth and proclaiming himself monarch of all her surveyed…my instinct warned me that DeMille and I were destined to clash." Although the shoot commenced with bad feelings, by the end Bickford insisted, they had achieved "a genuine respect for each other's abilities and were working smoothly together." (Edwards) Bickford began his career playing romantic leads.

Produced by David O. Selznick, No Other Woman tells the rags-to-riches-and-back-to-rags-again story of a mill owner (Charles Bickford) and his dutiful wife (played by Dunne) whose marriage is torn apart by a gold digger (Gwili Andre). When Dunne’s character refuses to grant her husband a divorce, certain that it’s just an infatuation that will run its course, her husband sues her and pays his employees to lie on the stand that Dunne was having an affair. While the accusations are untrue, Dunne “confesses” when she is threatened with losing custody of her son.
