Fingers is a 1978 drama film directed by James Toback.
Jimmy "Fingers" Angelelli (Harvey Keitel) is a brilliant young pianist who also works as a collector for his father Ben (Michael V. Gazzo), a powerful loan shark. Wherever Jimmy goes, he always carries a stereo with him, playing classic rock from the '50's and '60's. While trying to concentrate on an up-coming recital interview at Carnegie Hall, Jimmy loses focus when he falls for a woman named Carol (Tisa Farrow). He gets further side-tracked with collecting a large debt from a mafioso named Riccamonza (Tony Sirico), who eventually threatens Ben's life. This forces Jimmy to seek retribution.
James Toback said he originally wanted Robert de Niro to play the lead but then decided to use de Niro's best friend, Harvey Keitel. "Harvey agreed to play Jimmy and quickly began to astonish me by taking the character into dimensions of darkness well beyond my original imagining," wrote Toback.
With your fingers touching me
I feel tender
And the same thing you promised me
It was early decmber
You go your way
And I go mine
And you say your sorry
And I say I'm fine
It's allright
I make my ?? and I forget
It's allright
It's allright
With your words controlling me
Comes a sense of security
But the same thing you gave to me
You took it back, instantly
So here we go again
And I stay here
With no more promises
Nowhere near
It's allright
I make my ?? and I forget
It's allright
It's allright
Fingers
Fingers
Fingers
Fingers
It's allright
It's allright
It's allright
