Anna Karina makes it happen in Godard's Band of Outsiders.

Four years after his landmark Breathless, the great Jean-Luc Godard (Weekend)  re-imagined the gangster film even more radically with his 1964 crime drama Band of Outsiders.

In the Nouvelle vague classic, two restless young men (Sweet Movie’s Sami Frey and Eyes Without a Face’s Claude Brasseur) enlist the object of both of their fancies (Pierrot le fou’s Anna Karina) to help them commit a robbery—in her own home. An audacious and wildly entertaining French New Wave gem, Band of Outsiders is at once sentimental and sour, effervescently romantic and melancholy, and it features some of Godard’s most memorable set pieces, including the headlong race through the Louvre and the ultra-cool Madison dance sequence.

Criterion released a DVD edition of Bande à part back in 2003 which is still available. »
