The most famous international production he has appeared in is most probably ''Film/TheLongestDay'', where he played the Mayor of Colleville, a [[LaResistance Resistance operative]] who destroys German communication lines and welcomes the Allies on Sword Beach with a bottle of Champagne (and speaks English with a thick French accent).

His comedic style had the most success when he was paired with fellow big French stars, such as the [[LargeHam hammier]] and [[NervousWreck more nervous]] Creator/LouisDeFunes in ''[[Film/TheSucker Le Corniaud]]'' and ''Film/LaGrandeVadrouille'' (both times by director Creator/GerardOury), the imposing Creator/JeanGabin in ''Film/TheTripAcrossParis'', the more meridional (and longtime idol of his) Creator/{{Fernandel}} in ''Film/LaCuisineAuBeurre'' or the dashing Creator/JeanPaulBelmondo in ''Film/{{The Brain|1969}}''. He didn't limit himself to comedies however, and proved to be equally talented in more serious and dramatic roles, such as HardboiledDetective Inspector Mattei in ''Le Cercle Rouge'' (''The Red Circle'').
