Miniseries
The novel inspired an NBC miniseries with the teleplay by Jackie Collins and directed by Charles Jarrott in 1992.[1][2]
It follows 1990's NBC miniseries Lucky Chances, although only Phil Morris reprises his role as Steven Morris. Kim Delaney replaces Nicollette Sheridan as Lucky, Jack Scalia replaces Tim Ryan as Lennie, and Joe Cortese replaces Luca Bercovici as Santino.[3]
Future President Donald Trump appears in a cameo appearance as himself, as he did previously in 1987's CBS miniseries I'll Take Manhattan.[4]
