Taking up slack is a good way to see that your film is actual being taken up as the rewind knob turns as you advance. The frame counter advances regardless if film is being advanced or not. (some of my older cameras, the frame count won't advance unless film is actually pulling the gear along. Sort of like in the argus C3 where the advance won't stop unless film is rotating the sprockets to a locking position which has to be manually released to move to the next frame )

;p had that happen once in a universal Mercury II, got past frame 65 (half frame, so 65 shots off a roll of 36) and was like wait a minute, I go to rewind and it's an extremely short rewind thinking maybe I snapped the end of the canister. Got into a dark box turns out the film never took up.
