The 1938 film "The Sunset Murder Case" was initially titled "The Sunset Strip Case" but was rejected by exhibitors and censor boards due to its double meaning. The film was subsequently banned in Boston and faced legal challenges across the country. It was finally cleared for release in New York in 1941 under its new title and was distributed through independent exchanges. The film's cast order was altered for its 1941 prints, and it retained the Grand National logo despite the company's collapse. The film's plot revolves around a murder case, and it features fan dancer Sally Rand, who was known for her performances at the Chicago Exposition and the Texas Centennial.
