Guest from NW: A wonderful tale is the Groucho Marx letter (probably can be found in his writings) that he sent to Jack Warner when Warner was going to sue them for using Casablanca (as in NIght in Casablanca--not one of their good films). Groucho urges them to go ahead since his countersuit will be that The Marx Brothers were there ahead of the Warner Brothers---so--"brothers" is theirs and woe if the Warners abscond with their name. Lucky for them, Groucho points out, that none or the brothers was named Jack or they would proceed with another suit.
