Another museum heist?

I just recently saw this on the big screen and really enjoyed it. But the whole time I was waiting for the scene when Audrey climbs in through the top of the security device in true ballet form to retrieve the statue and does it perfectly but then realizes Peter O'Toole loves her and, forgetting everything else for the moment, she reaches right through the blue lights "You DO love me!", setting off the alarm. Well, the scene must not be in this movie and maybe it's not even Audrey Hepburn or Peter O'Toole. Does anyone out there know which movie I'm remembering this scene from? I'm pretty sure it's from the 60's or 70's.

You're thinking about 'Gambit' with Shirley Maclaine and Michael Caine. I saw that one recently. Good fun though not as good as HTSAM.

Thanks. That's what I thought from the other searches I did. How is it you saw Gambit recently? It doesn't seem to be available on video.

I had an old VHS copy transferred to DVD.

It pops up quite a lot on cable classic movie channels.
