From published sources
Places a newspaper, a film office, a broadcaster, a national film archive, a city filming permit or the production itself names, where no wiki records them. Each one below says where it comes from, with its source linked beside it: a sentence found on its page and read before the place was added, a permit a person matched to the production, or an archive's own record of the spot and the scene.

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.
