Twenty Million Sweethearts is a 1934 American Pre-Code musical comedy film directed by Ray Enright. The film stars Pat O'Brien, Dick Powell and Ginger Rogers. It also featured The Mills Brothers. The film was remade in 1949, starring Doris Day and Jack Carson, as My Dream Is Yours.
Agent Russell Edward 'Rush' Blake (Pat O'Brien) is able to promote the singing tenor waiter Buddy Clayton (Dick Powell) as a major radio star whilst Buddy's wife Peggy Cornell (Ginger Rogers) loses out. In the end, Peggy does not lose Buddy to his "twenty million sweethearts" - his female fans.
The film features the well-known song I'll String Along with You by Harry Warren and Al Dubin.
