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.

• Villa d'Este Italy

  “The garden is the setting and filming location of Kenneth Anger's 1953 short film, Eaux d'Artifice, as well as the 1972 film The Way of the Dragon, where Bruce Lee and Nora Miao take a tour of the gardens.” Wikipedia
