"The Rehearsal" was one of the first Italian "micro budget" movie filmed in digital video, along with "Twice in a lifetime" by Emanuela Giordano.
Currently, the original master of every film distributed by VRI (including this one) no longer exists. In 2017, a fire destroyed VRI's server, resulting in the permanent loss of the original masters of all films distributed up to that point. In an effort to preserve their works, some directors later uploaded earlier versions of their films to YouTube. However, these copies differ from the official releases in terms of quality, editing, and, in some cases, even credits-erroneously listing individuals who were not involved in the final productions.
