Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Best of the Willie Westerns
B-A-R-B-A-R-O-S-A!!!!!!!The best, by far of the Willie Westerns. Both lead performances (Nelson & Busey) are what you would expect from each actor, yet at the same time over the top and flawless. A must have for any western fan even though it is pan-scan 4:3. Let us hope that we soon get a proper widescreen version, Please!

Rating:  - The Vandal's Cut
First, I LOVED "Barbarosa."I was one of the underwhelming few who tracked it down when it was in its original theatrical release, and greedily recorded it on VHS from a widescreen cable broadcast. Alas, that recording is gone, along with a heartbreakingly large quantity of other presently unobtainable material.
The fatal flaw with this product is that it is presented ONLY in what they ironically call "full-screen" format; chop off nearly half of what you saw on the theater screen, ... Read More
Rating: - Another Vote for Widescreen
I loved this western when it came out. An tight, elegant script by Lonesome Dove screenwriter Bill Witliff, plus a sense of landscape-as-psychology from Aussie director Fred Schepisi.
Most movies are acceptable in full-screen. This is not one of them. I'll buy the DVD when it is released in its proper format.

I have to agree with Gayle Roberts-Thomas--As this is my alltime favOrite western, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MISSING SCENE that I only saw once ??????????
Rating: - Terrific little-seen western on an awful DVD
Fred Schepisi's "Barbarosa" was all but buried on its initial release in 1982, and has seldom been seen since.That's too bad, because William D. Wittliff's literate, poetic script shows genuine feeling for -- and an insider's knowledge of -- the American West.With memorable performances from Willie Nelson and Gary Busey, "Barbarosa" is worth seeing.Unfortunately, the full-frame video transfer here is awful.Given the poor quality of this DVD, the price comes as something of an insult.
