From the excellent Biography on this site...
"Jim Beach was currently involved in the process of producing a film version of the book "The Hotel New Hampshire" and asked Queen if they would like to score the soundtrack. Initially the group were very keen on the idea and set about reading the novel for themselves. However as work progressed in the studio, they felt that the music they were creating was not right for the film. It was then proposed that two albums be released - one Queen album and one sound track album. However, Queen found that their album was taking too much of their time, and had to stop work on the sound track. One song from the sound track album remained though, "Keep Passing Open Windows", which was phrase used throughout the book to signify hope."
yeh, from the horses mouth...
Freddie (1984): "When I write a song, I have in the head what the others can do and it's used as reference. But sometimes I do it knowing that it'll be difficult for everyone. It's my challenge. For example, I had written Keep Passing The Open Windows for the film Hotel New Hampshire but it was finally refused so I had to change it completely so it could be adapted to 'The Works'"
John (1983): "Freddie and I went to Montreal to meet Tony Richardson, who's making a film called "Hotel New Hampshire". It's based on the novel by John Irving who also wrote "The World According To Garp". Freddie is writing at the moment and we may do some recording for it later this year"
The 'cheer-up' or anti-suicide theme popped up many times in the Queen catalogue, so this was a fitting title & song for them. I've seen the movie - it's quite strange and I can't imagine Queen music working with it.

the song it's copied from Joe Jackson Steppin' Out is underrated, KPTOW is merely a cheap facsimile.
Think that's an overstatement. At a point early in the song the piano refrains are similar but aside from that there are enough dissimilarities to say only that KPTOW reminds me a little bit of Steppin' Out.
