What Trouble Along the Way Is About
Steve Williams is a former football coach; his career is over, his marriage is over, and he is about to lose custody of his daughter. A small Catholic college offers him a job: he is to put the football team of a school on the verge of closing back on its feet. Steve accepts, but starts bending the rules in order to win. Michael Curtiz's film shows John Wayne in an unusual part: no gun, no horse, just a father in debt and worn out. Donna Reed plays the social worker and Charles Coburn the head of the college. The telling is unusually plain for its period about the money side of sport and how schools make use of it. The tone sits between comedy and sentiment.
