Named here by Chinchón’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Chinchón, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

King of Kings 1961

“In 1961 a crowd of 7,000 local extras were recruited in Chinchón - and the neighbouring villages - for the Sermon on the Mount scene in Samuel Bronston's production of King of Kings, directed by Nicholas Ray, shot on the rocky hills around the Castilian town.” Wikipedia
