Paths of Glory chronicles the life of Colonel Dax, the commanding officer of French troops who makes some controversial decisions during the film. What famous actor portrays him?

Colonel Dax has a lawyer's intellect and a soldier's heart, but that does not imply he is ready to fight a fool's war. Dax is immune to his commanders' patriotic enthusiasm and happily cited Samuel Johnson to a general, asserting that patriotism is "a scoundrel's final refuge." He is portrayed by Kirk Douglas.
