    Not much to go on but I saw a British film from 1965ish as part of a birthday party treat and the only two scenes I can recall are the opening scene where a man enters a noisy London pub and a further scene where a group of people are drinking tea somewhat sedately when someone says break out the beer which is followed by beer crates being thrown about.I thought it might be Up Jumped A Swagman.Any ideas?

    Are you sure it was a British film and that it was a London pub? There's a scene in a noisy Sydney bar at the start is They're a Weird Mob (1969) which also ends with everyone pretending to be refined, drinking tea. But then someone suggests they break out the beer and there's a scene where they throw the beer crates to each other down the hill before the final party.

    It's an Australian film but with a British director - Michael Powell

    There's also the one released in France
    That has the original English (well, Australian English plus a bit of Italian) soundtrack and fixed French subtitles but it is region 2 so is playable on all DVD players in the UK
