He wrote novelisations of Tatis films, Monsieur Hulots Holiday and Man Oncle, both books illustrated by Pierre Etaix. Carrière and Etaix immediately found a rapport and together made two film shorts in 1961 - Rupture and Happy Birthday (Heureux Anniversaire), the latter gaining an Oscar in Hollywood.
