I have watched all episodes of Smallville and they are almost always worth the watching in a continuing story - not quite what us older folks remember Superman to be but a great, more current interpretation. This episode, however, was a treat beyond words. The cast had the 30's-40's film genre down to the "T". We got to see all of the regulars we enjoy so much and have them really show their talents by going to a dimension that is so, (pardon the expression Clark), "alien" to their generation, to what their normal roles are. It just goes to verify the talent of this cast to be able to pull off "in my mind at least" an incredible re-creation of any of a number of old classics. Bravo to all of them!Bob Reidmuller - Old Fart in California
