He began his career when he co-directed the 1913 silent film short "De film...
en aiguilles" with André Heuzé.
In addition to writing screenplays, during the period from 1916 to 1919, Diamant-Berger also published and edited a film magazine and books about the movies.
In 1918, he was hired by Pathé and sent to the United States to help set up the company's film laboratory at Fort Lee, New Jersey.
Upon his return to France, Pathé had him set up a laboratory in Vincennes, as well as organize a film studio in Boulogne-Billancourt.
In 1921, Diamant-Berger directed the film serial "Les Trois Mousquetaires", one of two film versions of Alexandre Dumas, père's novel "The Three Musketeers" released in 1921 (the other was Douglas Fairbanks' version) .
For a short time in the mid-1920s, he made pictures in the USA, including the drama "Fifty-Fifty" (1925) starring Lionel Barrymore.
He also directed the 1927 silent film "Éducation de Prince".
By the end of the decade he successfully made the transition to talkies.
Through his Barrymore connection, Diamant-Berger acquired the screen rights for a play produced on Broadway in 1921 written by John Barrymore's ex-wife, Blanche Oelrichs.
His French language film version of the same title, "Clair de lune" (1932), starred Claude Dauphin and Blanche Montel.
Among his notable sound films was a remake, "Les Trois Mousquetaires" (1932), a six-hour epic about the three musketeers for which he wrote the screen adaptation and used much of the same cast from his 1921 silent version.
Diamant-Berger's other directorial efforts include two Arsène Lupin detective films in 1937.
However, after directing "Tourbillon de Paris" in 1939, he lost eight full years to World War II.
In 1951, he directed the acclaimed drama "Monsieur Fabre" starring Pierre Fresnay.
During the 1960s, Diamant-Berger devoted himself exclusively to producing, making several successful films, which includes "La Belle Américaine" (1961), "Heaven Sent" (1963) and "The Counterfeit Constable" (1964).
