The productions shot here, one by one — and the Notre Dame pictures, separated

1940–2013 · TESTED TITLE BY TITLE AGAINST THE CDP LINE

One production was shot in part on this ground, and it is carried whole: Hawk: The Colorful Life of Ken Harrelson, MLB Network's hour-long documentary marking Harrelson's fiftieth year in baseball, narrated by Bob Costas, produced by Bruce Cornblatt, aired July 18, 2013. The network's release states the shoot: "Taped during May and June 2013 at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago and Harrelson's home in Granger, Indiana" — the residence Notable People documents across his Chicago broadcasting decades.

The famous titles test clean against the CDP line, and the separation prints here. Knute Rockne—All American (1940) was, per AFI, "shot on location at Notre Dame at South Bend, IN," premiering at South Bend October 4, 1940. Rudy (1993) shot fifty days from October 26, 1992 — six weeks in South Bend at Notre Dame, Holy Cross Junior College and the Cap N' Cork bar, its climax at halftime of the November 7, 1992 Boston College game before 59,075 fans — then Chicago and Whiting. Notre Dame stands in Clay Township but west of the CDP's strip, in its own census geography: both pictures are set-here and shot-here for the county, boundary for Granger, owned whole by South Bend's film file — which also carries The Spirit of Notre Dame (1931), set here and shot at Universal City. Rudy's premiere prints in conflict: October 6, 1993 (AFI) against an October 5 benefit premiere at the Morris Civic Auditorium (Notre Dame Report). One trap is dispelled: a film "shot in Granger" — True Grit (2010) — is Granger, Texas, standing in for Fort Smith; no part touched Indiana. Exhibition is not production: the ground's one cinema fact is Granger Community Church's first service, December 1986, in a rented cinema under construction on Grape Road; the house's name is a gap, carried below.
