It pitches him into the middle of a deadly intrigue through which he must step to save his oldest son and himself.\u003cbr/\u003eSo Instead of teaching his son to 'turn the other cheek', Sullivan teaches his son to drive a car, and whizzes in and out of bank robberies, murders and attempted hits, which he may just manage to escape. \u003cbr/\u003eOscar winner Hanks, known for his 'nice guy' character in films such as 'Forrest Gump' and 'Philadelphia,' say he thoroughly enjoyed playing the dark, brooding Sullivan character.\u003cbr/\u003eAt the film's Venice screening,  which boasted a full house, the Hanks' gamble was met with equal number of cheers and jeers from the audience.\u003cbr/\u003eSOPHIA LOREN, now 67, one of Italy's most famous sex symbols, grabbed the limelight at the Venice Film Festival promoting a double family whammy, with her in front of the camera and her son, EDOARDO PONTI, behind it.\u003cbr/\u003e'Between Strangers,' an out of competition but official selection in this year's Festival, boasts an impressive blend of international casting,  including Gerard Depardieu, Mira Sorvino and Pete Postlethwaite.\u003cbr/\u003eLoren stars in the film, which has been schedule for release in the U.S. on Oct. 4. It is the debut film for Ponti, whose father is the legendary Italian producer Carlo Ponti, 89.\u003cbr/\u003eLoren plays Olivia, an Italian woman who immigrated to Canada, and lives silently with her invalid husband (Postlethwaite). She has been hiding her childhood dream and passion of drawing, until she has a series of dreams that recall to her mind a haunting experience: that of giving up a baby she conceived when still an adolescent.\u003cbr/\u003eHer story mingles with that of Natalia (Sorvino), a photographer for an international agency, that has just landed her first cover of  Time magazine. But it is the photo itself that haunts her: she doesn't remember taking it. \u003cbr/\u003eIn what is her 100th role, Loren wears minimal make up and a grey streaked wig. But as herself, Miss Loren, who has championed healthy life style, is still ultra glamourous.  Receiving a lifetime achievement award she wore an off-the-shoulder dress with plunging neck line.\u003cbr/\u003eAt an intimate press conference, Edoardo Ponti, and Loren spoke about the pride they felt in working together, the lack of rivalry and the their mutual admiration. \u003cbr/\u003eThe young director presented his first short at the festival 4 years ago, this is his first feature
