Deville started his filmmaking career in the late 1950s, paralleling the emergence of the [[French New Wave]] directors. He never achieved the level of critical and international recognition of some of his contemporaries such as [[François Truffaut]], [[Jean-Luc Godard]] and [[Claude Chabrol]], possibly because of his more conventional filmmaking style. Nevertheless, his films, especially his comedies from the 1970s and 1980s, were popular in his native France. {{Citation needed|date=February 2010}} |
