Have a look at the 'cassette inspection window' and check any seal
(if there is one - mine has a film in or I'd open it up). As it happened
only
on the one film perhaps the cassette was distorted or dented enough to
let light by, and the fact that some frames are unaffected could suggest
that they were going through the camera while the sun wasn't shining
onto the window. If this was the cause, it's something that the much
maligned never-ready case could have prevented!
