Slim, I think toward the end he was more 6ft1. Peak I wouldn't rule out the full 6ft2

In Il Sorpasso there's a scene where he weighs himself and says "82 kgs. Well, I'm 187, I can still put on 5 kgs". That's all I've seen of him, but he certainly looked a tall guy in the movie... 6'1.5-6'1.75 I guess is believable, although he certainly didn't look more than 6 inches taller than 172 Trintignant (it could look anywhere between 5 and 6 inches at times really).

I wouldn't have hesitated to give him 6ft2 but if he did indeed claim 187cm, it's likely he was measured around that mark.

Actually i don't know the guy on the lett but I think the perfect listing for his son is 6'3"/191 cms.
I think the dad Vittorio didn't shrunk so much, maybe just a couple of cms...I think it's uncommon that a person at 70-75 is just 2 cms shorter than his/her peak, if in good health...

Good find, Judd! This confirms what his son said, 187...
I do agree with you, there's not much difference between him and his son, even when he was in his late 70s! His son is really a tricky guy, sometimes he doesn't even look 6'3 other times he can look a bit over it! I mean look at him with this actor, who claimed to be 183: Click Here

Mmmm...i don't know, maybe his son is just 6'3 flat instead 6'3.5" but next to him Vittorio seems for sure taller than a 6'-6'0.5" guy...
I think he may have lost only 0,5-0,75" at 70-75

Editor Rob yes that looks a direct quote, I will mention that is what he claims.

Rob how tall was in your opinion in 90's? (He was in his 70's)
I think he didn't loose so much because he didn't seemed much far from his son...

Editor Rob he didn't seem drop a drastic amount, I think probably an inch to 1.5 range by 70's

Anthony Quinn was around 186 IMO, and Gassman looked virtually 6'2 with him.

I mean look at him with Cary Grant here Click Here . Really old here with 6'3.5 son Click Here For me he was no less than 6'2 peak but if his son did say his father was 187 perhaps 6'1.75 isn't impossible.

@Rob, any chance of a slight tweak to a 6'1.75 187? Seen this guy in loads of 60s and 70s films and he really in fairness pulls off looking a solid 6'2 a lot. If you see him with Volonte he could make him look 5 ft 11 range! Now we know his son or somebody was supposed to have said he was 187, but perhaps it was a 6'1.75 187. Personally I find it hard to see this guy under 6'2, I reckon he'd have edged somebody like Victor Mature!

Editor Rob 1.75 might be reasonable for him, more a solid 187

As I said before 187 cms seems right!

I thought he did look taller than this, 6'2.5" would've been my initial guess, so I'm surprised but okay.. 188 is my revised est.

Rob, perhaps you could tweak to 6'1.75, I mean check out 3:20 here with Volonte! Click Here I know he's on higher ground but I really thought he could pull off looking 6'2"!

Thank you rob! I've whatched only the Sorpasso and i think 6'1.5-1.75" is a perfect estimate of him.
Definetly a 187 cms guy!

I guess for an Italian of that generation that height would have been the equivalent of 6'4"+ guy today.

Cheers Rob, spot on I think, although I'm about to watch a film he was in with Gian Maria which will be interesting if they stand together!
