1925年11月13日出生,原名凌國蘇,戰後在香港取身份證時改名凌雲,廣東番禺人。在廣州小學畢業。日軍侵華後,凌約於1941年單身一人走難來到香港。曾與朋友一起搞通訊社以賣稿給報館為生。
1947年在粵語片《郎歸晚》任臨時演員開始加入影圈。後來升特約,再轉幕後,由劇務、場記而至副導演及編劇,多是跟隨珠璣導演工作。1952 年獨自執導了處女作武俠片《神腿大俠》。其後主要工作仍是任副導演及編劇,並與楊工良或王天林合導《賣花女》(1952)、《同人唔同命》(1953)、《一榜三狀元》(1956)、《狗飯餵狀元》(1958)等粵語片。
在王天林拍攝廈語片時,凌作其副導演。其後王轉以拍國語片為主,凌遂補其空缺晉升導演,從此長期獨立執導。廈語片作品包括《選女婿》(1958)、《廣告美人》(1959)、《臭頭娶水某》(1959)等。及後廈語片式微,潮語片興起,凌亦曾執導《秦雪梅》(1963)、《劉進忠潮州起義》(1963)和《血海深仇》(1964)三部潮語片。
1958年峨嵋公司出品了粵語武俠片《射鵰英雄傳》之後,武俠片興起。凌自1960年與陳焯生合導了《金鏢黃天霸》(兩集,1960),便成為長期拍攝粵語武俠片為主的導演。早期的名作包括《白骨陰陽劍》(四集,1962-1963)、《清宮劍影錄》(兩集,1963)、《如來神掌》(五集,1964-1965)、《碧落紅塵》(三集,1966)、《劫火紅蓮》(兩集, 1966)、《荳蔻干戈》(兩集, 1966)和《七公主》(兩集,1967)等。凌的武俠片多由司徒安編劇,二人合作的《如來神掌》是粵語武俠片中最為人所熟知的經典系列,其絕招「萬佛朝宗」膾炙人口,到八九十年代仍不斷被翻拍成電影及電視劇。
由於國語武俠片《獨臂刀》(1967)賣座,1967年後的粵語武俠片風格也受到影響。凌雲仍是粵語武俠片導演的中堅,這個時期的名作包括《獨眼俠》(1968)、《如來神掌再顯神威/如來神掌劈魔平九派》( 1968)、《天狼寨》(1968)、《四色復仇劍》(1968)、《江湖第一劍》(1969)等。最後執導的一部粵語武俠片是《飛鳳狂龍》(1970)。粵語片式微,曾轉而為雷震、袁秋楓的金鷹公司執導國語片,作品包括《斷魂刀》( 1970 )、《鐵膽神龍》( 1971 )和《鬼話》(1972)。之後便沒有再執導。八十年代,唐佳在邵氏兄弟公司由武指轉任導演,凌也曾協助唐執導的《少林傳人》(1983,策劃導演)、《三闖少林》(1983,聯合編劇)、《洪拳大師》(1984,策劃導演) 三片的拍攝工作。2007年1月5日在香港病逝。妻子任曼梨出身粵劇花旦,亦曾任粵語片演員。
