Return to Waterloo is an album and hour-long film by Kinks' leader and chief songwriter Ray Davies. Several of the tracks on the album release were also available in near-identical form on The Kinks' 1984 release Word of Mouth. One song which appears in the film but not on the soundtrack is "Ladder of Success".
Davies was the director, writer and composer of the film, wherein instead of dialogue, the story is told through music and lyrics. The film features Kenneth Colley, Valerie Holliman, Dominique Barnes, Tim Roth and (briefly) Ray Davies himself.
