Olive Fisher is an elderly character actress whose claim to fame were the iconic “Gimme the Sausage” commercials of the 1980’s. She’s a classic New York curmudgeon, at war with the world and in particular her next door neighbors. Her closed-off life is shaken by the appearance of a spectral male figure viewed through her living room mirror. A series of strange and outrageous coincidences reveals that the man in the mirror has intimate links to everyone in Olive’s world and most revealingly to Olive, encouraging her that it’s never too late to change one’s life.

“A colorful, sweet-and-sour Busch dish, laced with plenty of laughs.” − The Associated Press
