Jean-Luc Godard's most popular film. Written by Francois Truffaut, this simple gangster–hero tale broke new ground for the French new–wave cinema of 1959.

Godard cast former boxer Jean–Paul Belmondo, as the rogue–hero, and Jean Seberg as the girlfriend who betrays him with a 'phone call made indifferently to the cops – a whore–virgin without a soul.
