I'm sorry to hear Van's gone  :\'(  even though he's been around for so long, the work I remember him best from was Brigadoon with Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse.  In this film he is quite cynical but very funny, & the man could dance & sing too. here's a clip of Van & Gene dancing with the men in the mythical village of Brigadoon. for anyone not familiar, he's the big guy with the coat & hat. he's my favorite character in this movie, by far.      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJPmW2LYhDo&feature=related

That movie is one of my 'guilty pleasures'...  I also liked The Caine Mutiny, Two Girls and a Sailor and The Last Time I Saw Paris.
