Newt's John Wayne Site

Big Trouble Along The Way (1953)

This sports comedy-drama is directed by Michael Curtiz (Casablanca). John Wayne tackles the role of Steve Williams, a former top college football coach who has been banned from the major conferences for his inability to conform and is making ends meet as a bookie. When he receives a call from the likable Father Burke (Charles Coburn) with an offer to establish a football program, in a last ditch effort to save his tiny St. Anthony's College from bankrupty. Williams sees it as a way to prove to a Childrens Court officer (Donna Reed) that he is a fit parent as he fights for custody of his 12 year old tomboy daughter. Of course, there's bound to be Trouble Along The Way.
Starring John Wayne, Donna Reed, Charles Coburn, Sherry Jackson, Tom Tully, and Chuck Connors. Directed by Michael Curtiz.
