Most probably your initial problem with the rewind was because you ripped the film from the canister spool and somehow it jambed when you tried to rewind. You said you had to cut the film and pull it from the take-up spool to get it out of the camera, so I assume you were able to remove the film canister OK and then discover that the film was not attached to the canister spool. Just try again and make sure the rewind lever is turning when you advance the film after loading and for the first two or three shots. Regards, Paul Connet
