He must have been wearing lifts. I doubt he was any taller than 5'10".

I'd say 5'9"-5'9.5 at peak and 5'8"-5'8.5 in his remaining years before his death. He was probably 5'8 range next to Tobey Maguire in spiderman and he was in his 70s at that time.

Barely. He was two inches shorter than Bill Holden in Picnic. Holden was reportedly five eleven.
When Robertson appeared again with Holden in The Devil's Brigade, he was the same height. But in that film he wore obvious lifts.
Robertson also wore lifts in Gore Vidal's The Best Man.
