Places per Wikipedia's Filming locations section

Wikipedia’s Filming locations section names 2 places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Places whose own article says it was shot there

2 places whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

• Church of Our Lady of Grace United States

  “The exterior of the church was used for scenes in the 1954 film On the Waterfront.” Wikipedia

• Red Hook United States

  “The 1954 film On the Waterfront is set in Red Hook, though it was filmed in Hoboken, New Jersey.” Wikipedia

Recorded only at country level

Wikidata also records this film as shot in New Jersey, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable — a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote — so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
