Brief synopsis of Lucky Chances 1

Based on the novels "Chances" and "Lucky" by Jackie Collins, this miniseries features the rise of Gino Santangelo in the Las Vegas casino industry...

The story begins in 1933 with handsome young street punk Gino Santangelo bootlegging illicit booze while he desperately searches for a way to climb the ladder of success. Catching the eye of a man-hungry socialite he becomes her willing pupil in love-making and her sleazy Senator husband is soon guiding him into the lucrative world of big business.

With his powerful friends' backing Gino learns fast and eventually opens a lavish casino in the quickly-expanding Las Vegas. Blissfully married, his happiness seems complete with the birth of a daughter, Lucky. But her headstrong ways and determination to prove herself become the bane of his life while his many enemies will do anything to bring down his empire....

If you've read the book and love JC then you'll love the film, a great chick flick.

Wish JC had made more of her books into films.

If like me you love the books, then please avoid this!

I was so pleased when I saw that they had made a film. I got half an hour into it and turned it off and put it back into the envelope!

If you don't mind mediocre acting and a poorly constructed plot that is somewhere close to the book then go for it.

If not.......remove it from your list!
