Where was White Heat filmed?
1949 film by Raoul Walsh
White Heat (1949) was filmed in Burbank, Van Nuys, Chatsworth, Santa Susana Mountains and Warner Bros. Ranch, 5 places named in its Wikipedia article's Filming section, in the United States.

A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a statement, and every claim on this page says which it is.

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.
