In it, our hero searches for the Golden Fleece and encounters many a stop-motion animated creature along the way. It’s part of Garfield Park’s Vintage Movie Night celebration of the films of Ray Harryhausen. Details here.

Police say a witness noticed the child in the rear passenger seat of the car outside Bed, Bath & Beyond and called 911 just before 2 p.m., when the temperature was 95 degrees.  The girl was treated and released to her father’s custody.
