"A mother of three notices that her baby son fascinates the lady renting a room in her home.

When 'Vera Brandon' (Nancy Kelly) returns to the room she rented as Mrs. JA Williams, there's a nameplate on the door that indicates the same. However, when she opens the door to enter the room, the nameplate is no longer there.

The evil or twisted nanny scheme has already been told many times on small and big screen but it still is enjoying to watch anyway. Here, performances are brilliant and convincing too. The particularity, everyone has noticed, is that there is no man at all in the cast, only the director Jack Smight and the baby Michael. ha ha ha The kind of AH H that I like, because unusual."

There was once a YouTube video with the whole Lonely Hours episode, which is where this photo is from. But not one video is currently available online right now.

The Lonely Hours is about a couple that has a spare room to rent. Even though we never see the husband in this show. But this couple with Gena Rowlands playing the wife have three kids together. A woman who sees their ad in the paper (I guess played by Nancy Kelly) stops by to rent the room at the Henderson’s house. She also ends up becoming the kids babysitter, even though Mrs. Henderson (played by Gena Rowlands) has done no research on the woman who is renting her bedroom. And has no idea who she is, about her history and what she’s doing there. I guess that's what life was like before the Internet.

Nancy Kelly plays a very lonely woman who almost falls in love with the Henderson baby. Sounds strange but loves this baby so much that she now believes the baby is actually hers and even kidnaps the baby. And that is what Mrs. Henderson finally wakes up and realizes that the new woman is not right and something really bad is going and sets out find her and get her baby back. 

Gena Rowlands not only looks like a goddess on this show with her hot, baby-face looks and tall sexy body, but she’s also a hell of an actress and does a great job of playing the loving mother protecting her family from a sick, dangerous ,woman.
