Cohen's best known and most successful film from this period was "Murder On the Orient Express" (1974), which Cohen said was his idea. This enabled Cohen to fund a slate of six new films worth £6 million: "Evil Under the Sun" (later made in 1982), "Aces High" "Seven Nights in Japan", and "Spanish Fly", plus two adaptations of TV shows, "The Likely Lads" and "The Sweeney" . Eventually "To the Devil, a Daughter" was made instead of "Evil Under the Sun" (which was filmed in 1982).
