Robinson's character in Double Indemnity makes a big deal about Fred MacMurray's 6'3" stature. However, Robinson (while much shorter) never looks more than a foot shorter than MacMurray. He may have fudged his height up a bit from 5'4" or something but I doubt Robinson was as small as 5'1"

No way is EGB 5'5 he is probably closer to 5'1 at his best. I watched a bunch of his films and you could see how they had to change things in order for him to look taller especially by surounding him with shorter actors just like they did for Alan Ladd. If you look at them while they stand next to a door you should be able to see that the top of a wall is around eight feet (tie beem)and then minus another foot to the top of the door.Even when he wore top hats it just made him look smaller.At least Prince admits to 5'1 so should the late EGR.

He's small than that. He and Frank Sinatra made a Frank Capra picture together called "A Hole in the Head". Well, Frank towers him by a good three inches.

I met EGR when he came in a Palm Beach, Fl restaurant and sat in the booth next to me. I was shocked to see how tiny he was. I'm 5'7" and towered over him. He's barely 5 ft tall. What's more, his head and hands were the size of a young child's. That he could pull off being a tough guy on the screen says a great deal about the power of movie makers to create illusion. EGR could easily qualify as a midget -- or a munchkin. He would have loved to be 5'5" which would put him on a par with guys like Cagney.
