Where Have You Gone, Ford Frick, Michael Wilson, and Carl Reiner?
On September 20, 1951, Ford Frick was elected Commissioner of Baseball. The next day, A Place in the Sun opened at the Loew’s State in downtown Cleveland. Also on the 20th, screenwriter Michael Wilson “appeared before the House Committee on Un-American Activities as an ‘un-friendly’ witness” and took the fifth.
In the fall of 1951, Saturdays were special. Saturday was the night for Your Show of Shows. Carl Reiner was playing second banana to Sid Caesar. Reiner was 29 years old.
Frick, Wilson, and Reiner were vastly different people with vastly different careers, but each made an impact on many people in 1951 and beyond.
