The Rehearsal (1974) 01:23:58 ////////////////////////////////////[/i]
The Rehearsal aka I Dokimi (Greek: Η Δοκιμή) is a 1974 film produced
by Melina Mercouri and directed by Jules Dassin that is a
cinematographic indictment of the Greek junta of 1967-1974. The film
tries to give a reconstruction of the events in the Polytechnic School
of Athens (November 1973) by documents, rehearsal, interviews, songs
and poems. It was never shown in cinemas as the junta fell a few days
after the shooting was finished.[b][i]
