The famous scene in The Green Man (1956), where Alastair Sim arrives at an Inn where he plans to assassinate a pompous politician (played by Raymond Huntley) with a bomb in a radio, only to discover to his horror that the Inn has an orchestra. The joy is seeing the various emotions flicker across his face, as he tries to work out how to get round this setback, and showcases his remarkable skiils as an actor.

By the way, the actress in the scene with Raymond Huntley as his mistress is Eileen Moore, who was George Cole's wife at the time. They have a similarly nice scene when Michael Ripper (he of the St Trinians films) asks what they would like to order. And yes, that is Arthur Brough (aka Mr Grainger from Are You Being Served?) as the barman. Strangely enough, it was his film debut at 51.
