"Val succumbs to the charms of Lady, who plans to set him up with a refreshment bar..."

No wonder Val succumbs; he's wanted to run a refreshment bar all his life. Seriously... No doubt the statement is literally correct, but it sounds Really Dumb. It needs rethinking and rewriting. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 21:45, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence sounds just fine to me.
We are dealing with Williams here, and a 1950s film. The sentence suits its subject matter.
We want this to read more like a description of American Pie Presents Band Camp? Anachronistically?
I have 100 plot summaries over at the IMDb. It is standard practice to adopt a style which conforms to the material at hand.
You're not going to use the same language writing about The Song of Bernadette and Rob Zombie's Halloween.
