You don't need to open the cassette! Feed the film into the developing-tank
spiral whilst gradually pulling the film out of the cassette until there is
no more film to pull out. Then take a pair of scissors and cut the film
along the edge of the cassette. Finally give the spiral a couple of more
twists to ensure that the last bit of film is located in the spiral.
If you hold the spiral so that the film and cassette hang down during
loading, the cassette weights the film and stops it twisting into a horrible
unloadable mess. Don't pull all the film out in one go -- pull out only a
few inches as you gradually load it into the developing spiral.
