You still need to open it in low light areas and put it in the plastic can after removing it.
IIRC he has the Olympus OM-1

Right lever to advance to next frame and left lever as you have correctly stated.

Listen for the 'click' noise and end of the feeling of resistance.......this will tell you when the film is fully rewound into the cartridge/barrel.

Better luck next time...it does get easier with practice though
