Very Cool!!!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

It was fascinating to learn about the amazing little known life of the actress known mostly as the Star Trek "Green Girl." You do not need to be a Star Trek fan to relate to this documentary. There is actually surprising little about her being that character because the rest of her life was much deeper, and more intricate and interesting. Mr. Pappy did an excellent and difficult job of putting together the visual and interview pieces to reveal and explore the unknown and multiple sides of this beautiful actress accomplished in so much more than just her wonderful acting. Things that should have been known by more people while she was alive. I was surprisingly moved and glad to get to know her in this nostalgic experience, yet sadly after she's gone. I recommend seeing it.

The one thing I ask from a good documentary is that it tells me something I don't already know about its subject. "The Green Girl" exceeds that in spades. It's a very well produced documentary on Susan Oliver, a staple of TV shows from the 60s who was an independent woman in every sense of the word. Her post-Hollywood career is full of amazing facts and deserves a movie all on its own. Filmmaker George Pappy does a great job in assembling Susan Oliver's life through the numerous film clips (which for a TV nostalgia nut is a can't miss opportunity all to itself) and interviews with the various actors and crew members she worked with over the years. I won't spoil anything but can only say that for baby boomers and even younger, if you're a Star Trek fan or just a fan of Hollywood in the 60's this film is well worth getting.

I was fortunate enough to see this film at one of its limited theatrical showings.I have seen Susan Oliver in many films and television shows over the years, but I knew vary little about her. "The Green Girl" brought the person behind the roles to life for me.She was as accomplished off screen as she was on, and it's tragic that she has not been acknowledged for all that she did. The unwillingness of many of the well-known actors with whom she worked to provide interviews for this film only serves to underscore that fact.Despite that absence, George A. Pappy, Jr. and Amy Glickman Brown have managed to produce a very compelling story of Ms. Oliver's life and career. I know that I will be watching it again on video more than once.

A true revelation in celebrity documentaries, told with love, respect, earnestness and compassion. The amazing part is that this film could be as emotionally compelling as it is, given that the subject - actress Susan Oliver - was so hard to pin down as an individual. Part mystery, part enigma, and gifted beyond compare, her legacy is thoughtfully preserved in The Green Girl. You don't have to be a fan of Susan to enjoy this film. You don't even have to know who she was. You'll be drawn in, and find yourself wanting to discover her works. Great job by the director and editor. An obvious labor of love for all involved, meticulously researched and presented.
