Great, so are we ready to give Piccoli a page at 5’11.5”, Rob? He was a pioneer of French cinema. Or should we keep searching for further evidence to support 5’11.5”?

Rob, so that Montand & Piccoli comparison further supports 5'11.5" for Piccoli, doesn't it?

Editor RobYes it could be on the money.

I see Montand as 1.5-2 inches shorter than Arthur Miller. Probably more likely over 6’1” than under it for Montand, but James Garner had an inch on Montand in Grand Prix!

About an inch or so shorter than Arthur Miller

6ft1 flat is the lowest I'd argue as other times he has looked 6ft1½. 186cm was spot on

Rob, how much height difference between Montand and Michel Piccoli at around 16:45? 1.5 inches?

Yes, so you may want to give Montand 6’1” then, Rob?
Don’t underestimate his exceptionally slim build which may have contributed to him looking taller than he was. His character in Police Python 357 was also described as 1m85 or 1m86. James Garner definitely had a fair bit of height on Montand in Grand Prix. I think a flat 6’1” could be the ticket for Montand.

Editor Rob6ft 1 kind of puts him on 185.4cm, which is between the two figures, so it could be a fair mark to place Yves at.

Rob, at 1:40:06, Montand's character has a passport listing of 1.85m.

Rob, could Montand please be added to the French actors tag, next to Philippe Noiret?
I would again strongly suggest that Montand get downgraded to 6’1” flat. He could even look under 6’1” at times in Police Python 357 and Manon des Sources.

Admittedly, I can see the logic in 6’1.25”, Montand could really look 186cm with 5’11.5” Michel Piccoli in Vincent, François, Paul... et les autres but James Garner had a good inch on Montand in Grand Prix, making me settle on 6’1” flat for Montand. Perhaps, Garner was 6’1.75” in the 1960s.
Montand also looked no more than 6’1” in Manon Des Sources; he was sixty-three years old by then though...

Rob, I believe a downgrade is in order for Montand.
At 53:50, 6’1.5” James Garner is easily taller than Montand, at least an inch difference there.

Rob, what do you think about the attached photo with Montand and 6’1.5” James Garner?

Wow! I now really have a hard time believing anything more than 6’1” for Montand.

Montand might have been a guy who was actually nearer 6 ft but wore lifts in some films to look 6'1.5-2. Not impossible. Really struggling to see 187 in Grand Prix, especially with Eva Marie Sant!

Honestly looks nearer 6 ft in Grand Prix to me. Did he lose height by 1966?

I think he once claimed 186 cm in a French interview (not 100% sure).
Arthur Miller consistently looks about two inches taller than him in their photos together:

I think 186 cm sounds right. Perkins was probably the same or a flat 6'1".

Here with his back to Perkins does look similar range although he seemed to have an edge over Perkins in that other photo. Click Here

Thanks again to added him Rob! :-) At last...:-)
But do you think Rob that he was only 187cm? A lot of pictures was he taller than Anthony Perkins who is 187cm on this site. In "Grand Prix" his height was similar to peak 188cm James Garner's.

Editor Rob 88 is arguable, he can look anywhere from 6ft 1 up to 6ft 2.
