1922年9月18日在廣東新會出生,八歲來香港。1941年香港淪陷之後,到越南教小學。1947年回香港。在兄長介紹下進新世界戲院工作,並隨院主張民權參與攝製影片工作。陳以在越南的積蓄頂讓了灣仔天樂里一間叫大聯的冰室,成為其電影公司後來的名字和財政基礎。1950年成立第一家製片公司藝成,為戲院商包拍了粵語片《飛來艷福》(1952)一片。1952 年又成立大聯影片公司攝製電影。出品了《花月爭輝》(1952)、《花月又重圓》(1952)、《萬里行屍》(1954)、《無頭東宮生太子》(兩集,1957)等粵語片。1959年開始自任導演,首作是《紅孩兒水晶宮救母》(1959)和《鐵扇公主神火破天門》(1959)兩部姊妹作。他執導影片中,最有名的是一系列由司徒安編劇,新馬師曾主演的小市民喜劇《撲水世界》(1963)、《通天師父》(1964)、《矇查查搵食》(1967)、《得咗》(1969)等。另外,又曾與楊工良聯合執導了由于素秋展示大量北派功架的《鍾無艷掛帥征西》(1962)。1971年,粵語片完全停產前,最後公映的一部粵語片《獅王之王》(1971)亦為大聯公司的出品。除攝製影片外,陳也經營粵語片的二輪發行生意。1974年結束香港所有生意移民美國。轉行任針炙師。2017年9月15日逝世。粵語片影星華倫是其異母弟。
