Sin City: Newport Beach
![]()
Based on "Bawdy Balboa" by Judge Robert Gardner, "Sin City: Newport Beach" transports viewers to the 1920s and 30s, when Newport Beach was a raucous seaside playground fueled by illegal booze, gambling, and scandalous nightlife. Through the stories of a dance hall, a brothel, a formidable madame, and two larger-than-life Dukes, the film reveals how the once boisterous honky-tonk town transformed Newport Beach into the world-class luxury destination we know today.🎬 Sin City: Newport Beach📅 Thursday, February 26th📍 Lido Theater (3459 Via Lido, Newport Beach, CA 92663)Runtime 84 minutes.
