1942 film directed by Michael Curtiz

Casablanca (1942) was filmed in Los Angeles, Burbank, Flagstaff, Van Nuys, Van Nuys Airport and Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank, 6 places named in its Wikipedia article, in the United States. Wikidata itself records the shoot only as California. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a statement, and every claim on this page says which it is.

Left off on purpose. Not a shoot: The Wikipedia article for this production names Casablanca in the part this atlas reads for filming locations, and this atlas does not show it. The sentence the atlas read is the article’s plot summary: filmed and set during the Second World War, the story follows an expatriate helping a resistance leader escape from the Vichy controlled city of Casablanca. The article’s Filming section says the entire picture was shot in the studio except for the aircraft scenes at Van Nuys Airport, which the atlas shows. Nothing was filmed in Morocco. Source.

Places per Wikipedia's article

The article names 6 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

4 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.

Recorded only at country level

Wikidata also records this film as shot in 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.
