I saw Denholm last week playing alongside the super tall Christopher Lee in To The Devil A Daughter. The fear on his face was very convincing, and his part excellently executed.
5ft10.5, though next to Mr Lee, he looked distinctly average. For his day, Denholm was quite tall.

5'10.5" or so seems about right. He is about the height of Ben Gazzara in "Saint Jack". I see him listed as 6'0" but he is shorter than that, I think. The taller end of middle height.

Denholm starred in, what I consider, one of the most terrifying movies of all time: 'To The Devil A Daughter'.
He played Henry Beddows, the unfortunate father of Catherine, (Nastassja Kinski) whose fate lay in the hands of a bunch of Satanists, led by Christopher Lee, who played Father Michael.
What an amazing coincidence is this? I've noticed that Denholm was born 4 days after co-star, Christopher Lee, but alas, he only lived for 70 years, whereas Mr Lee lived in access of 90 years, working hard until the very end.
5ft10.5.
RIP Denholm Elliott 🕯️
(31st May 1922 - 6th October 1992).

He looked 182 cm in Raiders and in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
A bit shorter than Ford but not that much

Just watched Last Crusade recently and Elliot is very close in height to Ford, and slightly smaller than Rhys Davies. 5ft10 3/4 to 5ft11 sounds right. Ford always looks a little smaller than Rhys Davies in both Raiders and Last Crusade, and on closer inspection Ford is a good 1 1/2 inches smaller than Connery in Crusade. Elliot(5ft10 3/4), Ford (5ft11 1/4),Rhys Davies(5ft11 3/4), Connery(6ft3/4 in Crusade, 6ft1 3/4 younger days),and Julian Glover(6ft1 1/4).

i'm going to gues at more 5'10 maybe 5'11 at most, given he's slightly shorter than John Rhys Davies in Raiders of the Lost Ark. And Rhys Davies is struggling for 6'0 ft.
