He just wanders away, the street empties, and the ghostly voices of Kitty and Johnny go on and on, pursuing him wherever he goes.

Cheers, that'll save me wasting time trying to catch it again on TV.

While he is wondering the streets though, he passes by the art gallery and sees his portrait of Katharine 'Kitty' March being sold for $10,000. He gets his last look at her face and then reminded that he was a great painter that could have had it all, money & freedom, but now is just a haunted, tortured soul.

Well said, Draac. I just saw this for the first time, on TCM. Cold weird movie, it you ask me. I suppose Kitty was meant to be a prostitute, which makes the story even sadder. I felt sorry for the pimp character Johnny at the end. He didn't deserve that, as mean as he was.
