The Myth of Fingerprints is a 1997 American film drama written and directed by Bart Freundlich. It stars Blythe Danner, Roy Scheider, Noah Wyle, and Julianne Moore (who later married Freundlich).^[2]

The film is named after the song "All Around the World or the Myth of Fingerprints" by Paul Simon, featured on his 1986 album Graceland.
