"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing" says Stephen Aloysius 'Steve' Williams (John Wayne). Not the only movie where Wayne coined a phrase but didn't get the credit for it. When he got the opportunity, John Wayne can play the complex roles this movie called for quite brilliantly. Sherry Jackson played a great part as the daughter in a custody battle. Marie Windsor, one of the 50 greatest American screen legends was outstanding as the ex-wife seeking custody getting custody cop (Donna Reed) to do her bidding. Coach Chuck Connors is great in his supporting role here. Charles Coburn put on a career performance as Father Matthew William Burke trying to save his school. Trouble Along The Way has it all and great directing from Michael Curtiz.
