The thing about Keenan Wynn was that he only had about an inch on Tony Curtis in The Great Race, As we know, Curtis has been known to favour massive footwear (e.g. in The Persuaders!), but his shoes didn’t look that dodgy to me in that film. Wynn also looked level in height with Omar Sharif in Mackenna’s Gold and I strongly suspect Sharif was more 5’10” than 5’11” by looking at his general dimensions.

Rob, what height would you put Keenan Wynn at?
In The Shaggy D.A., I saw about an inch between Wynn and Van Patten. I’d therefore give Van Patten 5’9.25” (he’s listed on google as 1.76m) and Wynn 5’10.25”.
Editor RobMight have guessed him 5ft 11, though not watched anything I can think of him in more recently...another name to add to a list of possibles!
