Warner Bros got shirty and threatened to sue the Marx Bros when they were 
bringing out a movie called "A Night in Casablanca".  Groucho countered 
with a letter saying that he was unaware that Warner Bros had rights over 
the city of Casablanca, and questioned their right to use the word 
"Brothers" in their name as professionally the Marx Brothers were brothers 
before Warner.  LOL
Warners asked for details of the plot, and the replies were so confusing to 
them, they gave up and decided not to sue.
