Vintage original 27x41 in. US one-sheet poster from the popular 1970's adventure crime drama/mystery thriller, THE SEVEN-PER-CENT SOLUTION, released in 1976 by Universal Pictures and directed by Herbert Ross. Based upon the best-selling novel by Nicholas Meyer, concerned about his friend's cocaine use, Dr. Watson (Robert Duvall) tricks Sherlock Holmes (Nicol Williamson) into traveling to Vienna, where Holmes enters the care of Sigmund Freud (Alan Arkin). Freud attempts to solve the mysteries of Holmes' subconscious, while Holmes devotes himself to solving a mystery involving the kidnapping of Lola Deveraux (Vanessa Redgrave). The cast includes Laurence Olivier, Joel Grey, Samantha Eggar, Charles Gray, Georgia Brown, Regine, and Jeremy Kemp. This beautiful one-sheet poster features artwork designed by Drew Struzan, who is one of the most collectible of the contemporary movie poster artists. Unrestored and folded as originally issued, it is in very fine condition with some small scattered creases from handling over time. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws and the beautiful color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading. This is a great poster for fans of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson! The title of the movie refers to the drug Sherlock Holmes is abusing. He injects himself with a solution of seven percent cocaine and ninety-three percent saline solution. The part of Mycroft Holmes was originally offered to Orson Welles. Ironically, Dr. Sigmund Freud praised the use of cocaine, and often injected himself with the drug many times a day. He even introduced the upper to his best buddy Ernst Fleisci-Marxow with the best intentions. Marxow was a gifted physiologist and also a morphine addict, due to a painful injury he sustained that was only soothed by the opiate. Freud believed cocaine would help him to kick his morphine habit (which was a common belief at the time) but unfortunately it did not aid his friend, but rather added another problem, with which he to deal, and may have been responsible for his early demise.
