Tiffany Productions was a movie-making venture founded in 1921 by star
Mae Murray; her then-husband, director
Robert Z. Leonard; and Maurice H. Hoffman, who made eight films, all released through
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Murray and Leonard divorced in 1925. Starting in 1925 with
Souls for Sables, co-starring
Claire Windsor and
Eugene O'Brien, Tiffany released 70 features, both silent and sound, 20 of which were
Westerns. At one point, Tiffany was booking its films into nearly 2,500 theatres. To produce their films, Tiffany acquired the former
Reliance-Majestic Studios lot at 4516
Sunset Boulevard,
Los Angeles in 1927. From 1927 to 1930,
John M. Stahl was the director of Tiffany and renamed the company Tiffany-Stahl Productions. The head of Tiffany was
Phil Goldstone, with his vice president Maurice H. Hoffman, who later was president of Liberty Films, which merged into
Republic Pictures. Leonard A. Young, who ran the L.A. Young Spring and Wire Company, bought into Tiffany from Hoffman in 1929. Tiffany lacked a profitable distribution network.
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. In January 2012, the Vitaphone Project announced that the U.S. premiere of a restored print of
Mamba would be in March 2012 at Cinefest in Syracuse, New York. ==Partial list of Tiffany films==
