Desc: The Sad Ballad of Johnny Reb and His Beautiful Wife Cecile: Directed by Tom Hruby. With Kathy Stolzenbach, Scott Turner. At times brutal and strange, with plenty of song and blind righteousness, the journey of one man's search for redemption as he relives the misdeeds and stubbornness that destroyed his beloved family life. A road to redemption not yet within the grasp of a man who's sins can never be forgiven.
