The Caine Mutiny

The Caine Mutiny is a 1951 novel written by Herman Wouk. Wouk adapted it for the stage as The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial (1953), which was followed by a 1954 film under the original title, starring Humphrey Bogart as Lieutenant Commander Philip Francis Queeg.
All versions follow the crew of the U.S.S. Caine who eventually take command of the Caine when its captain, Queeg, has a mental breakdown during a typhoon. Queeg had been experiencing bouts of paranoia, including an incident involving stolen strawberries. An officer is later put on trial for the mutiny but is ultimately acquitted.
