Back in the 1940s the studios ran more of a factory pipeline, so things could be put together much faster. It's rare nowadays for a film to have a gestation period (from writing to production) under 3-4 years or so. And when it does happen it's usually because some big Producer or Director like Steven Spielberg is behind it.
