Suzanne Dalbert (12 May 1927 – 31 December 1970) was a French actress who appeared in a number of American films and television series during the 1940s and 1950s. Dalbert was born in Paris, and moved to the United States following World War II. She was discovered by the Paramount studio head Hal Wallis who hoped to develop her into a major star. She was cast in a supporting role in The Accused but was left demoralized at her treatment by the overbearing director William Dieterle.

Dalbert did not develop as a leading star, but appeared in a mixture of small roles in larger budget films while playing the female lead in B Pictures such as Trail of the Yukon (1949). From 1951 onwards she appeared mostly in television before retiring in 1957 and returning to her native France.

Biography

Installée un temps aux États-Unis, elle apparaît au cinéma dans douze films américains, depuis Raccrochez, c'est une erreur d'Anatole Litvak (1948, avec Barbara Stanwyck et Burt Lancaster) jusqu'à Les Rois du jazz de Michael Curtiz (1956, avec Gordon MacRae et Dan Dailey).

Entretemps, citons Les Mirages de la peur de William Dieterle (1949, avec Loretta Young et Robert Cummings), Le Grand Assaut de Lewis Seiler (1950, avec David Brian et John Agar) et Les Diables de l'Oklahoma de John H. Auer (1952, avec Barton MacLane et Ben Cooper).

À la télévision américaine, outre un téléfilm de 1954, elle contribue à seize séries entre 1949 et 1957 (après quoi elle se retire définitivement), dont Lux Video Theatre (deux épisodes, 1953-1955).

Revenue en France, elle se suicide dans sa ville natale en 1970, à 43 ans.

After a fatal car crash in Lordsburg, New Mexico, investigators find a mysterious machine component that they turn over to the nearby Los Alamos National Laboratory for identification. Scientists there declare that it is one component of an advanced portable nuclear weapon designed by an unknown, presumably hostile power. The discovery prompts Paul Reagan (Richard Denning), chief of the Security Investigation Division (SID), to send agent John Williams (John Ireland) to investigate the source of these components and to prevent them from being assembled into a functioning weapon. As more parts are smuggled into the United States, the investigation expands and a pattern begins to emerge which points to Marseilles, France.

Leona Stevenson (Barbara Stanwyck) is the spoiled, bedridden daughter of wealthy businessman James Cotterell (Ed Begley). One day, while listening to what seems to be a crossed telephone connection, she hears two men planning a woman's murder. The call cuts off without Leona learning very much other than it is scheduled for 11:15, when a passing train will hide any sounds. She calls the telephone company and the police, but with few concrete details, they can do nothing. Complicating matters, her husband Henry (Burt Lancaster) is overdue and their servants have the night off, leaving her all alone in a Manhattan apartment.
