British films of the 1960s are undervalued. Their search for realism has often been dismissed as drabness and their more frivolous efforts can now appear just empty-headed. Robert Murphy's Sixties British Cinema is the first study to challenge this view. He shows that the realist tradition of the late 50s and early 60s was anything but dreary and depressing, and gave birth to a clutch of films remarkable for their confidence and vitality: Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, A Kind of Loving, and A Taste of Honey are only the better known titles. Sixties British Cinema revalues key genres of the period - horror, crime and comedy - and takes a fresh look at the 'swinging London' films, finding disturbing undertones that reflect the cultural changes of the decade. Now that our cinematic past is constantly recycled on television, Murphy's informative, engaging and perceptive review of these films and their cultural and industrial context offers an invaluable guide to this neglected era of British cinema.

Robert Murphy

Slow talkin’ Texan Robert Murphy is the down to earth cowboy that Australia has grown to love. Born in Clovis New Mexico to a Texan cattle rancher father, Robert spent his youth riding goats, sheep, horses, steers and hunting and fishing. He first learned to cook from catching/hunting his own food and cooking in the outdoors. Before long Robert moved to Texas to study at college, going on to work as everything from a cattle rancher to a horse trainer, demolition worker to picture framer. He’s been a pilot and a professional outdoorsman, led hunting tours through Texas and worked as a ranch guide. His skills also extend to shooting, tracking and survival.

He’s even worked as a professional shooter for the Texas Wild Game co-operative. In short, he’ll give anything a go. The native Texan, who has called Australia home for some 23 years, and who now resides on many acres in the Blue Mountains, stole the spotlight in My Kitchen Rules with his tall tales and his one-liners and together with daughter Lynzey, worked his way into Australian audiences’ hearts. Robert, who just loves a chat, and loves to cook, showed something different, his very own real Texan flavour and his love of BBQ.

He is passionate about sharing the recipes of his childhood, a Tex-Mex mix becoming increasingly popular on menus. You can’t help but fall in love with Robert and his trademark moustache and authentic cowboy garb. This is Robert ‘Texas’ Murphy’s first book.
