One of the best movies ever and Altman's best! I was 14 when I first saw it and I can still sing all the words to these songs. Love, love, love Ronee Blakely!

Great vocals and star turn by Ronee Blakley. Unforgettable film. Cinematic genius!!!

The second song is as good as cinema ever gets...even hard-bitten film critic Pauline Kael was in awe of Ronnee's performance, notably Dues....

@lskarin Nice to know somebody else appreciates it.

I thought that rendition of "In the Garden" was outstanding, and wish it were on YouTube.
RossM383's explanation is possibly correct -- the copyright trolls are out there. But how do you copyright a traditional hymn? Other pressures might be afoot.

terrific and honest rendition of a real performer

@RossM3838 Well that's good to know. I'll look for the video somewhere...Thanks

@anneliesb8 Its in the movie for sure, sung in the chapel at the hospital. For some reason, possibly copywrite, its not on youtube.
One of my favourite scenes and favourite characters EVER from a motion picture. Altman's masterpiece. The sensitivity, fragility and stream-of-consciousness meandering of Barbara Jean's injured psyche have stayed with me for decades. Not to mention the heart-wrenching vocal performance of It Hurts So Bad.

Ronee Blakley should've won the Oscar for this. She lost to Lee Grant. Grant's a great actress herself, but her Oscar winning role didn't even come close to this. Ronee was robbed.
