Bernard Girard embarked on a cinematic journey, initially as a screenwriter, in the year 1950. He subsequently ventured into directing, making his debut in 1957. Throughout his film career, which has been marked by sporadic appearances, Girard has primarily focused on television, with a few notable exceptions.
In 1966, he created a significant stir with the stylish comedy/thriller, Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round. Despite this notable achievement, the majority of his film output has been characterized by a sense of routine, failing to leave a lasting impression on the world of cinema.
It is worth noting that Girard's television work has been a significant aspect of his professional endeavors, with his contributions to the medium serving as a testament to his versatility as a filmmaker.
