Začínal u různých kočovných divadelních společností. Od roku 1928 do roku 1938 působil jako inspicient a rekvizitář v Osvobozeném divadle. Roli inspicienta si pak zahrál i ve Voskovcově a Werichově filmu Pudr a benzín. Od roku 1933 začal také psát filmové scénáře, nejprve pro jiné režiséry (např. Václava Wassermana), později pouze pro své vlastní filmy. Umělecká kvalita těchto scénářů však měla velmi střídavou úroveň, mezi jeho scénáři lze nalézt jak filmy vynikající, tak i zcela podprůměrné. V Osvobozeném divadle upravoval na podnět Jana Wericha hry pro děti (např. Ostrov dynamit, Divotvorný klobouk) a psal sám i pohádky, jejichž ústřední postavou býval Kapitán Bublas (např. Alibaba a třicet devět loupežníků). Režírovat začal po druhé světové válce v roce 1945. Celý život byl vždy plně konformní s vládnoucím režimem a točil i díla politicky značně tendenční a ideově velice problematická. Z tohoto důvodu je dnes celá jeho umělecká dráha považována za velice nevyrovnanou a společensky rozporuplnou. Vedle snímků velice kvalitních a divácky atraktivních natočil velké množství děl průměrných či vyloženě podprůměrných. Jako disciplinovaný člen KSČ byl za svůj politický postoj tehdejším vládnoucím komunistickým režimem velmi často oceňován, odměňován i umělecky protežován. V roce 1973 získal titul národní umělec.
