The Marx Brothers' 1946 movie A Night in Casablanca reportedly ran into some legal problems Warner Bros. objected to the use of the word "Casablanca" after their 1942 movie. That was mainly a publicity stunt. The real story is that A Night in Casablanca was first going to a direct parody of Casablanca, but got changed along the way. Wikipedia has the real scoop. Still, none of that matters because hey, it's a Marx brothers movie, and you know what you're getting into.

There could be something to the lawsuit threat story. At the beginning (2:25) when the police chief is announcing the murder over the radio, he says "round up all likely suspects", but it sure looks like his lips are saying "round up the usual suspects".
