Closing of Studio and Legacy
- One reason for Tiffany's failure was that it lacked a profitable distribution network.
- The studio complex was later bought by Columbia Pictures and given to Sam Katzman and Irving Briskin as base of operations for their film units.
- Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer purchased Tiffany's nitrate original film negative library and burned the collection during the burning of Atlanta sequence in Gone with the Wind.
- After Tiffany filed for bankruptcy in 1932, the copyrights on most (if not all) of their films weren't renewed, and are now in the public domain.
- In January 2012, the Vitaphone Project announced that the US premiere of a restored print of Mamba will be in March 2012 at Cinefest in Syracuse, New York.
