Anecdotes
Skolimowski's Kensington house in West London was in real life undergoing renovation at the time the film was made. (Moonligthing, 1982)

Gaffes
When one of the workers paints the door frame on the outside of the building and clears away the electrical wire, part of the lintel is already painted white. Later, when Banaszak climbs up the ladder, the lintel has not yet been painted. Then, in the close-up in which he gets the electric shock, a good part of the lintel is painted white again, and in the next shot, when he falls off the ladder, only a tiny part is painted white again.

Moonlighting (1982), a great Polish film directed by Jerzy Skolimowski.

Moonlighting is an outstanding Polish film which deserves to be listed among top 100 world cinema films.It is a film which shows us that there are some cruel,inhuman,unjust political systems and political establishments who constantly deprive common people of earning their respective livelihoods.Moonlighting demonstrates that human life is full of misery as it can make somebody do things which one would normally not do in daily life.This is the case of a Polish foreman Novak who is in London with three construction workers known to him. For them,their work site appears more of a prison as they cannot go out.Skolimowski is as critical of the plight of clandestine workers as that of Polish government's decision to declare Martial Law.It is sad to learn that according to moonlighting some workers had to work for 18 hours a day.Anxiety,apprehension and confusion are immediately palpable to these people who have landed in London for earning extra money.For example :an airport scene shows Polish workers to be entirely dependent on Novak as he is the only person who speaks English.Touching too are the scenes in which Novak pilfers from a neighborhood supermarket.A word about Sir Jeremy Irons.He is a joy to watch as nobody expected him to play the role of Nowak with amazing inventiveness.
