As you all know, the absence of contrails in old films is sited as evidence of chemtrails. The reason for this absence is an artistic one. A film (or a photograph) is someone's work of art, and they have a specific vision for what that piece of art work should look like. In years past, films aimed to create some ideal world, one that was unmarred by everyday reality, so the clutter of everyday life was carefully controlled. If a plane cruised into the frame (or the unwanted sound of a train could be heard in the background), shooting stopped, and was resumed after it passed. If a contrail was left behind, shooting resumed in a different direction or another place until the sky was clear again. Errant visual or auditory clutter that was not caught on set would either require a reshoot of the scene or a painful edit (this back before there were computers to clean up such messes). Can you imagine a western with planes flying by in the background? You know that, no matter how remote the location, planes intruded into the frame. So why don't we see or hear them? Because the film makers were careful to avoid getting them into the shot.
These days, films are more reality based*, so such visual clutter as contrails are considered "added production value" rather than a problem. If the contrails weren't already there, the film makers might be tempted to add them with CGI if the presence of such artifacts was important to the film.
There's also the plain fact that there are hundreds of times more planes in the air today than there were decades ago, so it would be much more difficult for a film maker to avoid getting planes and contrails in the frame. At some point, as long as these intrusions do not hurt the film maker's vision, he or she would have to accept them as part of their film.
*Obviously, I'm not referring to sci-fi and fantasy films or pre-aviation historical films.
