- Initially, in the mid-1950s, many films from Warner Bros. studio (including "Doctor X" and "The Mystery of the Wax Museum") released before 1949, were sold to a television collector – the film company Associated Artists Productions.

However, in 1978, after the death of Jack Warner, the color separation films were found in his house (this is where films like "Doctor X" and "The Mystery of the Wax Museum" were stored) and were restored at the UCLA Film and Television Archive.
