 The title is a reference to Samuel Taylor Coleridge (qv)s "The  Rime of the Ancient Mariner" but the movie was premiered and  initially released as "Driven To Guilt" after a majority vote of the  producers decided that Neal J. Gauger (qv)s original title was  too obscure a reference. Subsequent releases have the title of "The  Albatross," as per Neal J. Gauger (qv)s idea.
