The Seven-Per-Cent Solution (1976)

Sherlock Holmes suffers from cocaine addiction; Watson takes him to see Sigmund Freud in Vienna. They will join efforts in a kidnap investigation.

The detective plot is by-the-numbers, the tone is generally humorless; the sight of an addicted Holmes is not exactly a pleasant one. I am not sure this was a good idea. But it is pacy and there is a train chase.
