Places per Wikipedia's Production section

Wikipedia’s Production section names 1 place. 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

1 place 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.

• St. Brendan Catholic Church, Los Angeles United States

  “In War of the Worlds (1953), the climactic scene in which desperate humans gather to pray for a miracle inside St. Brendan while Martian ships blast away outside.” Wikipedia

Recorded only at country level

Wikidata also records this film as shot in Arizona, California, 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.
