This note of tragedy serves to emphasize the amusing sequences of the film, the clever contrast of comedy and pathos is effective. This is the technical triumph of the film...

Admiral Yamomoto no doubt felt that there was something 'fishy' about it all, and that admirable statesman politely refused the tender of good offices so kindly offered.
