Calvert's success had been noticed in the US, although her films had not been as popular there. [[Universal-International]] signed her to star in ''[[Time Out of Mind (1947 film)|Time Out of Mind]]'' (1947), which was a box office disappointment.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article26405124 |title=PHYLLIS CALVERT Makes Her Hollywood Delrit |newspaper=[[The Mercury]] |volume=CLXVI |issue=23,915 |location=Tasmania, Australia |date=2 August 1947 |access-date=29 August 2017 |page=3 (The Mercury Magazine) |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article52599861 |title=FILMS AND FILM STARS |newspaper=[[The Examiner (Tasmania)|The Examiner]] |volume=CVI |issue=121 |location=Tasmania, Australia |date=2 August 1947 |access-date=29 August 2017 |page=1 (WEEK-END MAGAZINE SECTION) |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article137125748 |title=Hollywood can't get along without British stars |newspaper=[[The World's News]] |issue=23[?] |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=4 October 1947 |access-date=4 September 2017 |page=17 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> She received several offers from studios and eventually decided to sign a six-picture deal with [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]].<ref>{{cite news |title=PARAMOUNT SIGNS PHYLLIS CALVERT: British Actress to Be Seen in Six Films, With 'Make You a Fine Wife' as First Waugh to Adapt His Book of Local Origin |date=13 December 1946 |work=The New York Times |page=29}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=PHYLLIS CALVERT – RED-HEAD WITHOUT TEMPER |author=GRADY JOHNSON. |date=7 September 1947 |work=The New York Times |page=X3}}</ref>

She returned to Britain to make ''[[Broken Journey]]'' (1948) playing a role written especially for her, but the film failed at the box-office.<ref name="box">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sY1LGFNtCOEC&dq=sydney+box+film+producer&pg=PA232|title=Sydney Box|first=Andrew|last=Spicer|date=5 September 2006|publisher=Manchester University Press|isbn=9780719059995 |accessdate=16 March 2023|via=Google Books}}</ref>
