"The Caine Mutiny" on TCM at 7 CST.

A classic.

During the Second World War, onboard a small insignificant ship in the U.S. Pacific Fleet, an event occurs unlike any that the United States Navy has ever experianced. A Ship's Captain is removed from his command by his Executive Officer in an apparent outright act of mutiny. As the trial of the mutineers unfold, it is then learned that the Captain of the ship was mentally unstable, perhaps even insane. The Navy must then decide: was the Caine Mutiny a criminal act? Or an act of courage to save a ship from destruction at the hands of her Captain.

There weren't enough left for another meal, so the mess crew finished them.

When strawberries go missing from the officers' mess, the captain, once again clicking the steel balls, goes to absurd lengths to hunt down the culprit. Despite being told by one of his officers that the mess staff had eaten the fruit, Queeg insists otherwise and proudly tells Maryk and Keefer that as an ensign he was commended for unmasking a cheese thief.
