(
Click Here) in 2016 with Chris Nolan; Mann's looking nearer 5'6 than 5'7. De Niro is losing height in the photo I think since he also looks solid 4-5 inches under Nolan.

I believe his peak height was 5'8". He said he was 5'8" in a magazine interview back in the early 1990's. He was still 5'8" in 1995 when he made "Heat". This is apparent in photos where he is standing next to Robert De Niro. He might be down to 5'7" right now.

Another director? What's the deal with the directors? They're not performers, and just barely public figures. (How tall are the screenwriters or the composer guys?) I mean, I'm interested, but directors make an odd category for discussions about height.
Although it is interesting how many directors are on the short side.

There's varying degrees of interest in height of director's. Probably a fair proportion aren't searched for on the web, but there is a good number who are searched for, and that is always the point I am looking at.

I think he's only 5'6" range, maybe 5'6.5" seeing him with a 5'5.5"-5'6" Al Pacino at the time of Heat. 5'7" seems a bit high, imo.

I met Michael when I filmed the movie "Ali" with Will Smith. He directed the film, and I saw him on the set for two days in a row. He is about 5-6. He was so short, that we started calling him "Michael Half a Man"! (Of course not to his face!)

Funny because I have the Collateral special edition DVD and in the making of collateral, Michael Mann appears next to Tom Cruise several times, and he's at least 2 inches shorter than Cruise. Which mean than he is shorter than 5'6" (according to this site). Of course Cruise could've worn special shoes throughout the shooting of the movie.
