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. Moritz Switzerland
“Ski scenes from James Bond movies The Spy Who Loved Me and A View to a Kill were filmed at St. Moritz although attributed to other locations in the dialogue.” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in Egypt, Japan, Switzerland, The Bahamas, 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.
Its Wikipedia article also names Malta as where this film was shot, without naming a place inside that could be pinned. That is prose rather than a Wikidata statement, and it is labelled here as such rather than guessed at.
