in SLR, after i rewind the film the crank knob is staying there instead of
winding back, and then advance the film, I see the rewinding knob spin.

in my M6, when I rewind the film, the crank knob spring back (film tension),
so when i advance to next frame i don't see the knob spin.  is this mean
that the film is not straightning inside ?

This is perfectly normal.  You're tensioning the spool when you 
rewind.  When the film's in the can, it unwinds, just like the mainspring 
on a  watch.
