1. I've never seen "Four Men and a Prayer",

but I was mad about Richard Greene, from my early teens right through my twenties. I thought he
had the most beautiful voice I'd ever heard, and gorgeous dimples. He was very big for a time as
the star of the TV series "Robin Hood" (in which a very young Paul Eddington played Will Scarlet,
long before anyone had thought about writing a series called "Yes, Minister").

Nowadays, the most beautiful voice of all time belongs to Alan Rickman (IMHO), but I'd still put
Richard Greene second.
