Arthur Hiller height - How tall is Arthur Hiller?

Notable dramas were "The Americanization of Emily" with James Garner and Julie Andrews, "The Man in the Glass Booth" with Maximilian Schell, "The Hospital" with George C. Scott and Diana Rigg and "Tobruk" with Rock Hudson and George Peppard. Hiller's versatility, plus his willingness to take on projects unworthy of his talent, may have forestalled recognition of his achievements. Although he earned good reviews for his better films, his lesser ones were savaged by film critics. His only Oscar nomination came for "Love Story," for which he won a Golden Globe. Hiller once explained his choice of scripts, saying, "I prefer them with good moral values, which comes from my parents and my upbringing. ... Even in my smaller, lesser films, at least there's an affirmation of the human spirit." A soft-spoken man with a black mane like a symphonic conductor's, the Canadian-born Hiller served two terms apiece as president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and president of the Directors Guild of America. In 2002 the Academy presented Hiller with its "Jean Hersholt Award for Humanitarian Service." He was born in Edmonton, Alberta, where his parents operated a Yiddish school and theater. After leaving the University of Alberta to join the Royal Air Force during World War II, he studied psychology at the University of Toronto and law at the University of British Columbia. Hiller eventually decided to go into communications, applying for a job at Canada's CBS network in Toronto. When asked what kind of work he was seeking, Hiller replied: "I want to be a director".

Only two of Hiller's films, "Penelope" (1966) and "Tobruk" (1967), were made in anamorphic widescreen ratio (that is, 2.35: 1). All of the rest were made in what is now known as spherical widescreen (anywhere from 1.66: 1 to 1.85: 1), even the musical "Man of La Mancha", which was blown up to 70 mm in first-run engagements.
