The temptations and pressure exerted on Chris by Toni to return to their former carefree life of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll soon starts to have an impact on Chris's marriage. He starts to question his values, his lifestyle choices and his relationship with Marion and even suspects her of starting an affair with Toni whom she dislikes! Eventually circumstances come to a head and Chris is forced to decide whether to follow Toni back to the hedonistic, irresponsible life of his youth or face the harsh realities of the present and stay with Marion.

“My Week With Marilyn” Film Script

Adrian Hodges is not notable for being a major film screenwriter. The London based writer has had only three movies actually produced into motion pictures. However, he is not a failed writer at the least. According to IMDB.com (2012), Hodges is well known for his television movie scripts as well as his scripts as a television screenwriter.

The film, “My Week with Marilyn” (2011), starring Michelle Williams, represents one of the few films that he has adapted for the screen. Hodges life long work goes to show how the versatility of a writer can encourage more and more work. Artistic expression may be harbored in some instances, but keeping in practice is one of the best ways to ensure that a person’s writing skills do not falter or diminish.
