I'm inclined more towards 5'7(or maybe 5'7 1/8 or something) after seeing him opposite 5'9.5 Marcello Mastroianni in The Sunday Woman.

Rob, can Trintignant have 5'7"?
Please see around 19:30, with 5'9" Roy Scheider looking two inches taller than Trintignant, and weak 5'8" Michel Bouquet looking one inch taller than Trintignant: Click Here

Never a full 5’8”. Even with his heels on in And God Created Women, Without Apparent Motive and The Outside Man, Trintignant always struggled to reach 5’8”.
5ft7.5 he was.

More 5'7.5" than 5'8". He always looked well under average height but 5'6" is cutting it too low, especially seeing Trintignant had a good inch on 5'6.5" Michel Serrault in Le Bon Plaisir.

Rob, could Trintignant please have 5’7.5” instead?

The above photo says it all, even with Trintignant’s booster heels, he clearly looks under 5’8” to me.

Editor RobIt's arguable, but maybe the lowest I would go for him.

RIP monsieur Trintignant. I only just watched Flic Story this month on the 13th! Now Delon and Bardot are the only giant living French icons left from the 1960s!
5’7.5” to 5’7.75”

Similar height to very worthy add Jean Gabin. However, out of these two groundbreaking French performers, I reckon Gabin was a stronger 5’7.75”. I generally see Trintignant as a more 5’7.5” guy at peak, although 5’7.75” peak was definitely more likely than 5’7.25”. Trintignant could be 5’5” range today, he is 91 years old!

Good one Rob! 5’7.75” for Trintignant is a great listing, 5’7.5” also possible but a full 5’8” was probably too high. He looked at most a weak 5’8” in all of his projects, notably in And God Created Women, The Conformist and Z. Alain Delon had two full inches on Trintignant in Flic Story. Trintignant made Michel Serrault seem 5’6.5” in Le Bon Plaisir, which is actually entirely plausible as Serrault was shorter than 5’7” Bernard Blier and 5’7” Jean Poiret. Now aged 91, I imagine Trintignant would be 5’6” range, if lucky.

If he only claimed 172 himself (like mande2013 said), why don't you give him that mark, Rob?

Editor Robit would seem reasonable.

I thought Jean-Louis Trintignant looked rather short in And God Created Women. 5’7.5” is my guess for Trintignant’s peak, he did not seem any more than two inches taller than Brigitte Bardot.

Forgot that he states that in Maud's, just as likely 1.72 m as 1.73 m for Trintignant, after reviewing everything most likely a weak 5'8"er.

The character he plays in My Night at Maud's describes himself as 1m72. I'd say a weak 5'8.

1,73 at the most. I wouldn´t be surprised if he was actually shorter than that

w/ Catherine Deneuve & Gerard Depardieu: Click Here

In that last one, 5'8" looks pretty accurate compared to Delon at a smidge under 5'10".

Thanks for adding, this guy is a great actor, often as a quiet, internal kind of character but wow, what great later performances in Red and Amour.
Could you add Il Sorpasso, My Night at Maud's, Les Biches and The Great Silence?

Z is one of the greatest political thrillers ever made IMO.
