Trouble Along the Way

A small, struggling Catholic college waged its future on shoring up the athletic program, and turned to fallen pro football coach Steve Williams (John Wayne) to turn the team’s fortunes around. Needing to win a custody fight for his little girl (Sherry Jackson) and charm his caseworker (Donna Reed), Williams took the job--but will flags fly when he starts packing his roster with ringers? Winning comedy-drama co-stars Charles Coburn, Marie Windsor, Tom Tully, Dabbs Greer; Michael Curtiz directs. 110 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English, French.
