Trick answer: Never tried it deliberately. A few years ago, a
lab I was working at had the C-41 developer replenisher pump go
bad. The manager refused to listen to her staff (that was me)
that the films were obviously coming out of the machine badly
processed, and as a consequence we had a lot of under developed
film that day. As I recall, the quality suffered greatly, as the
colour mask wasn't optimal, the shadow detail was non existent
and the highlights and midtones were mush.
Actually, as C-41 films can stand an enormous amount of
overexposure, pull processing is moot, IMHO.
