I have had this problem when the film has a significant bend across the
film in the area of the leader. I have found that bending the leader in
the reverse direction to reduce the bend fixes this problem. I think it is
getting caught between the film rails and the back when this happens - Just
a guess as to the reason.

The first time I thought I just loaded it wrong, the second time I kicked
myself for not watching the crank knob, the third time it just made me
sick. In shooting 6 36exp. rolls of film 3 of them didn't wind. The film
was placed in perfectly the film advance felt normal but the film just
didn't move (and the rewind crank doesn't move). After I open the back
glare at it's innards and close it (without touching the film) it will wind
perfectly. I haven't heard of this happening before. My film advance
feels and sounds normal and the film leader isn't slipping out of its tongs
but it just doesn't wind around the spool.
