Strange Portrait was a film shot in Hong Kong in 1966.[2][3] It was directed by Jeffrey Stone and starred Jeffrey Hunter, Barbara Lee, Mai Tai Sing and Tina Hutchence. Stone and his wife went searching for a distributor, hoping to enter it into the Asian Film Festival;[2] however, the film was never released, with sources differing as to the reason.[4][5] One report is that it was destroyed in a warehouse fire.[2][6] Stone said the film was suppressed by the film studio at the behest of the Hong Kong government because of a scene featuring partial nudity.[7] It is considered to be a lost film.[8]
