Sarasota is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 2 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.

1 production was filmed at 2 places inside Sarasota rather than at Sarasota itself — listed below, each with the place it was shot.

“The film was shot in Sarasota, Florida, where locals were paid 75 cents per hour as extras.”

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Sarasota as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

  • The Greatest Show on Earth 1952
  • Great Expectations 1998
    “In 1998, two studio films were filmed in Sarasota: Alfonso Cuaron's Great Expectations, with Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Hank Azaria, Anne Bancroft and Robert De Niro; and Volker Schlondorff's Palmetto, starring Woody Harrelson, Elisabeth Shue, and Gina Gershon.” Wikipedia

Movies filmed elsewhere in Sarasota

1 production shot at 2 places inside Sarasota, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Sarasota itself.

Named here by Sarasota’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Sarasota, 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.
