How tall is Louis Calhern

Arch Stanton said on 28/Mar/23
In Julius Caesar I see 5 inches between Brando and Calhern. There is a scene in which they're walking side by side at about 15 minutes in, I'd assume both in sandals. He has to be minimum 6'1.5 if Brando was 5'8.75.

You can't rule out 6ft2.

I did think he was at least 6'2" though, he could look that range with Sterling Hayden and similar range to 6'2" listed Stewart Granger.

Here they claim Calhern is a "towering 6'5""!

He could look either 6ft1 or 6ft2, really

I agree that 6' 1.5" is about right for Calhern, having seen him in movies with 6' 2" Walter Pidgeon and 6' 1" Van Johnson. In "The Prisoner of Zenda" he slightly edges out Granger when they are both on level ground and side by side. But as I've mentioned on Granger's page, his own height is often inconsistent during a movie for certain "reasons".

Actually in some scenes Calhern could look in 6'-6'1 range with Howard Keel!!! I think we can rule out 6 ft 2 and anything higher!!

6'1.5-6'2" looks his range with Howard Keel in Annie Get Your Gun.

Stewart Granger was slightly taller than him in The prisoner of Zenda. He was as tall as Cary Grant in Notorious probably a tad taller. He was between 1´85-87

He could have been a weak 6ft2

You know I think that film database is problematic in many ways. I see a listing there and often it convinces me it's legit. I just assumed Calhern really was 6'2.5 like I assumed Rennie was 6'4". I thought he could pull of looking 6'2" range with Hayden. I can't say I've really studied his height in every film, he's just one of those faces who keep popping up and I knew he was pretty tall.I think it's a good thing to get listings on here to often set the record straight, particularly on the older actresses where there's often a 2 inch inflation. I often get a good look at them before requesting so on ones where I say "looked shorter" there's usually something to that though.

Rob, he claimed 6ft4. You may want to add it to the top.

That him there with Brando? Didn't notice him in the film when I watched it but it was at a time when I didn't really know who he was
Click Here Looks 6'1" range there, you're probably right.

Have you got Notorious on DVD Rob? I saw it about 18 months ago, all I can remember is him standing on the stairs looking down at Cary Grant, can't remember how they looked together. Notorious and The Asphalt Jungle are real classics worth watching again sometime.

Arch Stanton said on 20/Feb/15
Rob can you add Executive Suite and Blackboard Jungle?

Actually I think in Rhapsody Gassman edged him out and he was supposed to have been 6'1.5-6'2". Probably a good shout then, just one of those guys with a big presence who could seem a bit taller at times.

Typo on "bother" :-) I was think he was more 6'2" range. Sterling Hayden had him by no more than 3 inches I thought. Wasn't he taller than Cary Grant in Notorious? I'm trying to remember them together in that house but can't!
