Juliusz Machulski-one of the representatives of the Polish authors’ cinema-is a director recognized by the generations of the audience. His oeuvre is distinguished by characteristic features such as inseparable comedic traits, critical comment on reality and an artistic attitude to the Polish language spoken by his film characters. During the analysis of the linguistic layer of the movies by Machulski, it is worthwhile to signal at least the role of anthroponyms, since proper names-according to research from the circle of literary onomastics-perform equally important function in creating stylization like other linguistic endeavours. Personal -onyms in the films by Juliusz Machulski combine certain common characteristics: they may be used for co-creation of onomastic realism (then, they are a kind of costume), but they also may attest to a consequent (repeating in many films), experimental predilection of the author – for Anglicization, for constructing a network of intertextual references or for creation of pseudonyms or meaningful surnames.
