The Marx Brothers had a similar problem with their last movie
"A Night In Casablanca".  Jack Warner, who had just released
the Humphrey Bogart "Casablanca," was trying to stop the film
from being released with the name "Casablanca" in the title.

Groucho replied with a legal style letter that went something
like this (sorry, I am quoting from memory)...

Dear Mr. Warner,
	Atilla the Hun was wrong.  Their is more than one way
to capture a city and hold it hostage.  Now, you came out with
a movie called "Casablanca" and you don't think that anyone else
should be allowed to use "Casablanca" in a movie title again.
In that case, what about "Warner Brothers."  You may own the name
Warner, but what about "brothers."  Professionally, me and my brothers
have been brothers much longer than you have.  I forbid you to
use the word "Brothers" ever again.

Sincerely
Dr. Hugo P. Hackenbush

The story goes that that was the last complaint Groucho heard about
the subject from Warner.
