The Seven-Per-Cent Solution
The story is true...only the facts have been made up.
Directed by Herbert Ross
Produced by Herbert Ross Productions, Universal Pictures
A witty, intellectually playful mystery that blends Sherlock Holmes with Freudian psychology, balancing detective intrigue with character study and period charm.
Concerned about his friend's cocaine use, Dr. Watson tricks Sherlock Holmes into travelling to Vienna, where Holmes enters the care of Sigmund Freud. Freud attempts to solve the mysteries of Holmes' subconscious, while Holmes devotes himself to solving a mystery involving the kidnapping of Lola Deveraux.
