Tales of the Unexpected

In "the Party" (1980) starring Robert Morley and Joyce Redman, Robert Morley plays the disgruntled senior manager of a company that makes toys. Suspecting that the management want to push him out, he stumbles across a hall that has been prepared for a party. As no one told him about any party, he suspects they've kept him in the dark because they want to fire him. The party it turns out, was a surprise to honour his forty years with the company. Unfortunately, he only finds out after he has set fire to the hall!
