Yumashev gave the following account of the victory: "We faced the fresh, elite Kwantung Army and considerable Japanese naval forces based on Korea and the West Coast of Japan . . .

...sets. Like most period musicals also, Miss Liberty has a thin, insipid air of farce about it. But it is too much in one key; by not changing enough, it drifts steadily toward the worse. As a complete novice at musicomedy, Mr. Sherwood might have blundered into something truly fresh and individual, but he seems to have carefully studied how to be as much (and as mechanically) like everybody else as possible...
