According to Maltin, there's a writer's cut assembled by the writer A. Martin Zweibeck called The Ultimate Solution of Grace Quigley, which "despite an uneven second half, is a touching, funny, surreal black comedy about the problems of the elderly and the right of choice." This I think is the version we saw - which clocks at 83 minutes on TPTV. It's quite funny - Katharine Hepburn hiring hitman Nick Nolte to kill herself and some elderly acquaintances - but the ending is a dire mess. This is a film which could not be saved.
Also we might have explored why he kills her landlord in the first place.
With Kit Le Fever, Chip Zien (psychotherapist), William Duell (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), Elizabeth Wilson (The Addams Family, Regarding Henry), Walter Abel.
