Where was East of Eden filmed?

1955 film directed by Elia Kazan

East of Eden (1955) was filmed in Monterey, Mendocino and Salinas Valley, 3 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.

Places per Wikipedia's article

The article names 3 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

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.

• Mendocino United States

  “Mendocino was depicted as turn-of-the-20th-century Monterey in the James Dean classic East of Eden, and it served as a New England resort town in Summer of '42 (the latter film featuring numerous local Mendocino High School students as extras).” Wikipedia

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.
