The mother and father are divorced. The mother has custody of the daughter. The mother is very flamboyant...

I can't remember much about it except that at one point 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 the mother, the daughter leans over to see if mom is awake and the mom is faking being asleep so the daughter does not know she heard. At some point after the train ride, the mother sends the daughter to live with the dad (who is very welll off) even though she really doesn't want to because she thinks the daughter will suffer if she stays with the her (the mom). 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.

Stella Dallas. It's got to be. Such a heart breaker. I'm surprised no one else has thought of it.
