He worked with some of the most notable directors in Hollywood including Frank Capra, Leo McCarey, and Howard Hawks.

Bernds worked with Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, and company for over twenty years as the Stooges' favorite director. A second breakthrough came when he wrote and directed feature length films, among them the science fiction classics: \u003ci\u003eWorld Without End\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eReturn of the Fly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSpacemaster X7\u003c\/i\u003e, and Zsa-zsa Gabor's \u003ci\u003eQueen of Outer Space\u003c\/i\u003e. Edward Bernds witnessed all of the profound changes that Hollywood underwent from the advent of sound to the start of the \u003ci\u003eEasy Rider\u003c\/i\u003e era.
