  • 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.

  • 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!!!

  • 2:08

    

  • 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....

  • love that dress!!!! well, and her performance, too, of course! but the dress is stunning, lol.

  • @lskarin Nice to know somebody else appreciates it.

  • @anneliesb8

    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.
