Tilt the photo! Stewart is at least three and a half inches taller.

I see a 2 1/2" to 3" difference in height in that picture between Jimmy Stewart and Robert Montgomery, making Montgomery about 6' to 6'-0.5"

If you rotate the photo with Stewart which I've done, Bob comes up to Stewart's eye level which makes him around 5'10" to 5'11". Have you seen the old Mutiny on the Bounty starring Clark Gable? Tone has a major part in the film. Tone played an admiral in the film "In Harm's Way." He's in the scene with John Wayne when Wayne is relieved of his command after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Tone had a magnificent speaking voice, very deep and commanding. Or as they used to say, a "radio voice." We no longer have actors like Tone. Instead we have kids like Tom Cruise. No wonder people have stopped going to the movies. Forget that the films are terrible. The so-called stars are mostly juveniles who if placed next to actors like John Wayne and Franchot Tone would completely disappear.

Speaking of egos......

Nope. Montgomery was about five eleven and a half. Don Defore was taller than him and Defore was a very close family friend. He was 6'1". I saw Don shortly before he passed away. Nice man.
