About 15 minutes before the end of the film, we see the ship on the high seas, followed by her disembarking in America. (One of Rosalind Russell's greatest performances.) Her travel to America is an "important plot point," as it's there -- in Minneapolis -- that she finally receives acclaim.
Do we get another clue?
I found a clip of the end of SISTER KENNY.
She is already in America at the end, and is giving a lecture.
So the scene on the ship is not the coda of the movie as it is is the movie I have in mind.
So to (hopefully) make the spolier only pertain to one possible movie: When the movie ends, the title character is seen traveling alone (without traveling companions) on a sailing vesssel bound for America.
First clue: The title character is a female.
New clue: The character is not an historical person, but rather a fictitious person.
Thanks. Your OP says ending or "important plot point." I think many of us have offered both or either in our clues, according to your OP.
Yes, you are correct. A spoiler does not need to reveal the ending to qualify.
For this one, though, it is the ending.
At the end of SISTER KENNY, do we actually see her on a ship sailing to America?
I have never seen that movie so I don't know.
(It's not the movie I had in mind.)

New clue: The female who plays the title character appeared in another movie over 10 years earlier in which there is a very famous scene with her on a boat.

Barbra Streisand as YENTL?
You are correct, Kay.
The movie is indeed YENTL.
My next clue would have been that the person playing the title character also directed the movie.
Fifteen years before the release of YENTL, Barbra Streisand made her movie debut in FUNNY GIRL where there is an iconic moment with her on a tugboat as part of the "Don't Rain On My Parade" sequence.
It's now your turn to try to stump us with a spoiler!
The 2 leads are both Oscar winners, for other films. The lead actress won her Oscar almost 10 years before this film, the lead actor won his Oscar less than 10 years after this film. Both were for Best Actress and Best Actor.
Yes, Ruby Gentry. A 1952 b&w film directed by King Vidor, starring Jennifer Jones, Charlton Heston and Karl Malden.The theme song Ruby
was a hit. It,'s a pop and jazz standard. Ray Charles had a hit with the song it was also recorded many times without lyrics.
TCM has shown Ruby Gentry in the past.
It's your turn, skimpole
