Rob, would you consider 5’8.75” for McDowall?

Looks a bit like a short Jean-Claude Brialy.

Something about his elfin looks made me think he was a rather shorter man.

5’9” plausible in That Darn Cat! I definitely wouldn’t exceed 5’9” for McDowall though, there’s a chance of a weak 5’9” for him, he had marvellous posture. McDowall was 2-3 inches shorter than Dean Jones who I’ve often claimed was 5’11.75” but I could also believe 5’11.5” for him. I do feel I’m generally a generous height estimator.

Today Roddy would have turned 91 years of age. Alas, he only lived his three score years and ten. Saw him at the pictures in 'Fright Night'.

5ft9.

RIP Roddy xxx 🕯️

Roddy was fairly close to my 5'10" height. No real standout movies I enjoy Roddy in (closest would be Lassie Come Home with 5'3" Elizabeth Taylor and maybe Cleopatra again starring petite 5'3" Taylor,although it's 6:14 long! Longest movie in video collection! The ORIGINAL length!),but his 1964 Price Is Right appearance was my favorite McDowell venture. During the 1963-1964 season,after the prime time Bill Cullen hosted Price Is Right went to ABC (ABC had acquired the daytime Price Is Right in 1959),celebrity contestants appeared on the game show to win prizes for studio audience contestants (nighttime) or home viewers (daytime.) Even Cullen made two panel appearances. Both times,he won one prize for studio audience members (Dec.20,1963,prime time) and on Dec.18,1964 (daytime) nailed a prize for a home viewer. Bill's nighttime Price Is Right panel appearance Jack Clark hosted and then Price Is Right announcer Johnny Gilbert hosted his daytime Price Is Right panelist appearance. Even Gilbert slipped in two panel appearances on Jan.10,1964 (nighttime) and June 5,1964 (daytime.) Gilbert also hosted a daytime Price Is Right June 19,1964 with guest panelist Rudy Vallee. (Rudy's 4 home viewers won Westclox clocks as Virgil Bertani grabbed all 4 prizes winning $8,128.) Rudy won home viewer a travel van and another nailed a dining room set,piano,and grandfather clock. Contestant Samuel Bang won a stereo set and some WB/Reprise record albums. But defending champion Mary Haas won the game by winning a $10,000 diamond ring. (Judy Bodnar and Roddy's other two home viewers won Hamilton Beach kitchen appliances for coming out "empty prized."

In accident with Peter Falk, there is a scene face to face with the same angle for the camera for both actors. No more an half inch less for peter Falk whereas Randy is wearing heel shoes...

5'6 or 5'7 no more

If you've ever seen the episode of him in Columbo ,he's clearly shorter than this. I'd say 5'6-7 max.

5ft 9-9.25 peak.

If Carl Franklin is 1.79cm and Jared Martin is 1,91cm (6'3"), watching "The Fantastic Journey", Roddy, standing next to Franklin and Martin, seems to be 5'7 - 5'8.
