Production

Outside working at the Star Company, Bela Lugosi worked for the smaller company Phönix. His second film for the company was "99". Much of the cast had worked or would work with Lugosi, including Lajos Réthey who worked on stage with Lugosi in 1904 adaptation of Trilby and Gyula Gál who worked with Lugosi at the National Theatre in Budapest. Mihály Várkonyi would work with Lugosi again in The Black Camel (1931).

The film was directed by Michael Curtiz. A reel of the film was overexposed during the films final production, leading to Curtiz ordering Lugosi to do retakes. Lugosi reportedly refused and was excoriated in front of the entire company and did not return until Curtiz agreed to apologize to Lugosi in front of the crew.
