I review recent research on the evolution of elliptical galaxies in high redshift galaxy clusters. Significant progress is being made on many fronts using the powerful tools of e.g. HST and 10 m class telescopes. But determining the actual age of composite stellar populations in distant galaxies is still beyond our capabilities.
