Tzavellas wrote at least 26 plays , in addition to writing the scripts for all of his films . Among his notable films are '' Marinos Kontaras '' ( 1948 ) , the drama '' O methystakas '' ( 1950 ) , and '' Antigone '' ( 1961 ) , a cinematic adaptation of the Sophocles tragedy . His adaptation of '' Antigone '' reimagined it in the language of realist cinema , omitting stylized elements of Greek stageplay such as the chorus , and attempting to convey the same information via setting and dialogue . In 1964 he was a member of the jury at the 14th Berlin International Film Festival . His masterpiece , however , is the 1955 film '' The Counterfeit Coin '' ( '' I kálpiki líra '' ) , a film in four parts , linking the stories of several people through their transactions of a single counterfeit gold coin
