the seven-per-cent solution (1976)

"We are such stuff as dreams are made of."
Sherlock Holmes (Nicol Williamson), has descended into a rambling cocaine addict, due to lack of cases to solve. To cure him, Dr. Watson (Robert Duvall) cons Holmes into journeying to Vienna, and into the arms of Sigmund Freud (Alan Arkin), so he can treat him. Whilst there the trio become involved in a kidnapping case.
An interesting idea, that spends too long on the addiction, and not enough on the detection. Though it provides a thrilling end to it all.
