Grace Quigley (1984)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087354/

Grace Quigley is a 1984 film starring Katharine Hepburn and Nick Nolte. The plot centers around an elderly woman who decides not to wait around to die of old age, but hires a hit man to kill her. The film is noted for being Hepburn\'s last leading role in a movie for the big screen.

In addition to this version of the film that was released in 1984, the writer, A. Martin Zweiback, edited a second version that is considered superior by some critics.

Writer-director A. Martin Zweiback, who previously made an antiwar movie called \"Cactus in the Snow,\" flung a 35-page treatment over the garden gate of George Cukor\'s house, where Hepburn was recovering from hip surgery. Hepburn read the treatment and liked it well enough not only to write a check, no strings attached, for Zweiback to write the script, but also to bring Steve McQueen into the process as a possible co-star.

Zweiback\'s script concerned an aging New York widow with little to live for who hires a hit man to kill her. Before he can perform this service, however, the two find themselves swamped with similar business from elderly people disgusted with mistreatment and neglect. Because of the tricky subject matter, it took 12 years to get the film made. By then, Nolte took over the role of the hit man and Hepburn brought aboard her \"The Lion in Winter\" director, Anthony Harvey, to direct. Zweiback agreed to step aside as director so long as he and his late wife, Adrienne, could produce. As it turned out, they were never allowed on the set.

The film premiered at the 1984 Festival de Cannes, titled The Ultimate Solution of Grace Quigley, where it received scathing reviews. Nevertheless, the film\'s producer, the Cannon Group, opened virtually the same version in New York to equally poor notices. By then, Zweiback persuaded Cannon head Menahem Golan to give him one day in an editing room to recut the film. The result, he felt, better conformed to the original concept to which Hepburn had committed. Later, Zweiback added a new soundtrack including music by the Pretenders. This was the \"writer\'s cut\" Knight saw at a university screening.

\"The undercurrents of (Zweiback\'s) movie remain on the dark side, but at least while the film is on the screen the tone is light, ironic and often screamingly funny,\" Knight wrote. Other critics saw the Zweiback version and gave it a thumbs up, calling the film \"provocative,\" \"urbane\" and \"unsettling.\" Yet the only city in which Cannon released this writer\'s cut was Los Angeles. Worse yet, for the video release, Cannon reverted to Harvey\'s discredited version.

\"Leonard Maltin\'s Movie & Video Guide\" lists two reviews for this film. One, for the Harvey version, calls it an \"abysmal misfire.\" The other, for the Zweiback version, terms the movie \"a touching, funny, surreal comedy.\" The problem is, you and I can only see one version. Long ago, Zweiback paid $1,500 to Cannon for what may well be the only existing print of \"The Ultimate Solution.\"

\"MGM has the rights to \'Grace Quigley,\' \" Zweiback noted. \"I would love to see a DVD come out with both versions. It could be used by every film school in the country. What would teach more about the effects of editing and music than this particular film?\"

Currently the Region 0 PAL dvd, , titled The Ultimate Solution of Grace Quigley, is available in the UK, running 92 minutes ISBN 5-017633-214016 from Hollywood DVD UK .
