How tall was Lino Ventura

Rob, I would love to see a page for his ADIEU POULET co-star, Patrick Dewaere.


Comparisons with Lino at 49:00, 1:08:21 and 1:24:40: Click Here


5’9.5” is definitely the figure; hardly two inches on Lino, sometimes looks more like one inch (but Ventura had bulky footwear). No chance of a full 5’10” though, 5’9.75” absolute max, and I’ve seen a lot of Dewaere’s movies; he was not a full 5’10” guy.

At around 1:02:30 and 17:45, how tall does Michel Piccoli look with Ventura? 5’11.5”?

Rob, I asked because at 55:35 below, Ventura was a good couple of inches taller than Elizabeth Bourgine, who we agree is 5’6ish, and she was probably wearing heels in the scene.

Rob, what are the odds of 5’7.5” for Ventura?

5’7.5” more likely than 5’7” flat. 5’7.25” perfect. He seemed to have quite a bit of footwear help on a regular basis. In The French Detective, in a scene, Ventura looked no shorter than 5’9.5” Patrick Dewaere. That says it all, doesn’t it Rob?

I would say worthy add Jean-Claude Brialy typically had a full three inches on Ventura, making 5’10.25” a sensible estimate for Brialy. I got the impression Brialy would have been taller in the 1970s than someone like Alain Delon; comparisons between them aside.

Rob, does Brialy look under, on or over 5'10" in these photos with Ventura?

Hopefully these help to finally get Brialy his well-deserved page!

I’m pleased to see that Lino starred in The Medusa Touch. I was so impressed when I saw it last time that I sent off for
a copy.

Next time I watch it, I can compare Lino to Richard Burton, and the aforementioned film, plus Exorcist II are both queueing up to be watched.

5ft7.25.

Rob, could you please add The French Detective, The Valachi Papers and The Medusa Touch to Ventura’s credits?

Thank you immensely Rob and congratulations on adding the fourth wrestler this week (upon an injury Ventura turned to acting). 5’7.25” is also absolutely perfect, a strong 5’7” he was, even though he could pull off 5’8” range with Jean Gabin. Coincidentally, Ventura died at the age of 68 and his entry number ends in 68!

I am so delighted we have now got all three powerhouse actors from The Sicilian Clan (Delon, Gabin, Ventura)!
