## Description

Sidney Sheldon’s sudsy, sprawling miniseries Master of the Game arrives on DVD in time to celebrate its 25th anniversary and please fans who have pined for the lusty adventures of diamond heiress Kate Blackwell (Dyan Cannon) since its network debut in 1984. The eight-hour production, which is spread over two discs, covers three generations of a family steeped in the South African diamond trade. Ian Charleson ( Chariots of Fire ) dominates part one as Jamie McGregor, who carves an empire out of the wilds of South Africa; Cannon takes over in part two, which follows her control of her father’s business while meddling in the affair of her son (Harry Hamlin); the final part follows her twin granddaughters (Liane Langland) as their personal machinations threaten to destroy the company. A talented supported cast, including Leslie Caron, Donald Pleasance, Barry Morse and Cliff De Young lend believability to the larger-than-life characters and plotting, but it’s Cannon who shines brightest, and in a difficult role that requires her to play from youthful ingénue to elderly matron. Technical aspects are typically top-notch; the DVD includes no extras. --Paul Gaita Based on Sidney Sheldon's bestselling novel, the miniseries MASTER OF THE GAME debuts on DVD in a 2-disc set 25 years after it's network premiere. The lavish, international saga spans a century and focuses on the Blackwell family's rise to wealth from 1890s South Africa where the family's fortune is made in diamonds to the primary story of iron-willed Kate Blackwell, the driven, power-hungry head of the family's embattled corporate empire.

Review: Followed the book fairly well. - Had the book - had to see the movie. Book is better of course, but still enjoyed the movie.
Review: Masterful Moviemaking - I really can't believe that I omitted to send you a review on this very enjoyable movie. Anyway after reading Sidney Sheldons' novel 'Master of the Game'I decided to check the desertcart website to see if there had been a Movie made of this terrific story. Sure enough there it was, a great movie filmed with a lot of respect to the author of the story.I am so pleased to have this DVD in my collection, a really wonderful watch.I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a real Saga.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gave Sidney Sheldon's book life.....
*by C***S on January 5, 2014*

i have read every one of Sidney Sheldon's books and this story was one of my favorites. This DVD really was amazing. It captured all the characters and the actors featured in this series were phenomenal. I started watching this with the intent that I'll watch a little at a time but that wasn't the case. I enjoyed the entire movie in one sitting. It's that good. i kept this in my wish list until I finally gave myself a gift and purchased it. I would recommend this to all who enjoy a story with a lot of surprises in it.
