Premise
The film starts 40 years after Mary Hastings inherits her deceased husband's family business. When Mary herself retires, she hands it over to the board of directors, as she is skeptical of her family's ability to run the business. Soon afterwards, the great depression causes the business to lose profits.{{Cite web |title=Mills of the Gods |url=https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/83528/mills-of-the-gods#overview |access-date=2025-01-19 |website=Turner Classic Movies |language=en}}
