At a time when Dr. Jack Kivorkian has made his way back into the headlines and there is soo much controversy over the morality of mercy killing, "Grace Quigley" lends a comical twist to the issue. Grace Quigley (Katharine Hepburn) seeks out a hit-man (Nick Nolte) to aid her in exiting a world in which she feels she has outlived her usefulness. However, the hit-man is having a hard time dealing with some of his own feelings. A seemingly unlikely pair, Hepburn and Nolte make an unforgettable team in this comedy focused on a highly explosive social topic.

I have loved this movie for years and have had a very hard time trying to find it so I was thrilled when I saw it here. It is everything I hoped it would be and was delighted with the company and quality of the VHS.

I've owned this video for years and am going to transfer it to dvd as I can't find it on that media.

I found many parts of this movie poignant, and the chase scene probably one of the most, if not THE most, hysterical in movie history.

If you don't find assisted suicide distasteful, or at least can understand the reasons for a person wishing to decide for themselves what their quality of life is and should be, do buy this movie.

My Mother loved this movie! Possibly because Katherine Hepburn plays the GQ role; her favorite actress and because Grace Quigley is my mother's name. And she felt just fine with Ms. Hepburn's performance and belives the idea could actually make a good business plan. A WWII US Army Nurse, with 3 combat invasion landings in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy, she wants to know why Grace (KH) needs hit-man Nick Nolte; just a syringe and a little ..... special juice...

This is one of my favorite dark comedies especially since it stars two of my all-time favorite actors, Nick Nolte and Katherine Hepburn. I don't think it sold in DVD, which is too bad for dark comedy buffs.

The movie is a "black comedy" but was funny and interesting. Great cast and superb performances by Nilte and Hepburn. Tragically funny. A "must see"!

This was purchased as a gift, as far as I know, it is just fine.
