After having participated in the European battle theater in World War II, he directed some minor action productions for which he mostly wrote the scripts himself and which he also produced (e.g. Le Baron de l'Arizona (1950)). His masterpiece was Le port de la drogue (1953) for 20th Century Fox, but at the end of the 1950s, he regained his independence from the production company and filmed many other movies of note, including the controversial Dressé pour tuer (1982).
