The mother and father are divorced. The mother has custody of the daughter. The mother is a very flamboyant dresser.. . When the mother and daughter are on a train, the mother is bottom bunk, daughter in top about to sleep when other passengers are walking by talking about how the mother, the daughter leans over to see if mom is a way and she is faking sleeping. Shortly after the mother sends the daughter to live with the dad (who is very welll off) even though she really doesn't want to makes it like she has better things to do and the daughter is keeping her from doing them. The end of the movie the mother is peeking through the window watching the daughter get married and the security guard says you have to leave, and the mother says let me see the kiss...

Was a really good movie and so would love to see it again, but can't remember the name to save my life.

Try: "Stella Dallas" late 1930's
Remake starring Bette Midler (around 1990) just titled "Stella"
