This may be it, The Sonata in D major, K. 448 by Mozart.
"The Sonata in D major, K. 448, has been a personal favorite of mine since hearing it many years ago in the Sean Connery film The Great Train Robbery. The music's sense of hijinks perfectly matched the general tone of the film, and a good performance carries along a highly contagious sense of good humor."
Here is a video performance of it, not from the movie itself, but maybe you can tell if it is indeed the piece you're looking for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myJOl7ia0gg

You might also want to try Gordon Langford's "Marche Humoresque from Suite for Piano Duet" by Gordon Langford.
