Can anyone please tell me the title of a Harry H Corbett short film.
The synopsis was Harry’s driving along a narrow country lane and a snobby bloke comes the other way driving a Rolls Royce, and then they argue about who should back up and give way.
I’ve looked on the IMDb database but I can’t find it.

It's the "pride" sketch. oh and the posh bloke is Ian Carmichael and the non posh guy is Alfie Bass. Harry H Corbet is in the "lust" sketch.
If you want to watch the original, it's "Impasse" from Comedy Playhouse in 1963 - Bernard Cribbins and Leslie Phillips.
I saw Impasse in TV a few years ago, very funny.
The full movie is on YouTube but it can't be embedded here because one needs to be signed into Google/YouTube in order to see it.

To watch it, follow this link and (if you're not already signed into Google), then sign in:

'Impasse', from Comedy Playhouse, is available to watch on DailyMotion:
