From ages 12–20 he set type as a typographer, then studied mime in his early 20s. In 1948 he made his motion picture debut with one of the secondary roles in the film, Les Dieux du dimanche. Within a few years, Robert was writing scripts, directing, and producing.Yves Roberts directorial efforts included several successful comedies for which he had written the screenplay.

In 1976, Un éléphant ça trompe énormément, starring his wife, earned him international acclaim.
