The original Marx version came out in 1968:

ISTR that Iron Bill is about 5'6".
If he is 56 years old (ISTR), then he'd have been 19 year old in 1968.
I think we can assume that he had stopped growing by then.
Tight fit, that, but it does generate a cute picture in my mind!
Quite the limber young man, that Bill.
