About Sgt. Swann's Private Files
San Diego, California has the largest concentration of military might in the Western hemisphere. Thousands of marines and sailors call San Diego home while on their tour of duty. Working as a drill instructor, Sgt. Glenn Swann has many experiences with marines and while off duty has more than his share of contact with sailors. In his Private Files, Swann relates a few of his fantasies including: Individual instruction for his hot aide and attendant, Scott O'Hara; R&R with his personal friend Rick Donovan and his partner Ed Jerome; A thorough workout with his buddy Troy; A climatic scene with a barracks full of hot marines.
Directed by Chris Stevens, Sgt. Swann's Private Files leans on a strong ensemble — Glenn Swann, Rick Donovan, Scott O'Hara — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1985.
