Yes, it can be cross-processed -- with very mixed results.

ETA: For example...


Brian.. I think the answer is that it can not be xpro'd in in C41 chems. All the research says it can't be done, and my two attempts were a total failure. Just left me with clear base and some scum on the film. And lots of black gook in my C41 chemicals. I have four rolls left and will try them in Rodinal, which I think works. I can't explain the flickr photos that say Kodachrome + Xpro. Perhaps it was really Ektachrome? Or xpro in post? Or maybe there is a secret way of doing it that I haven't found yet. That would be nice.
Some Kodachrome xpro info..

My failure with severe levels adjustments:

Hi Tom. I don't know about C-41 specifically. You have much more knowledge and experience about such things. Based on my reading, though, it seems it can be processed as black and white. Take a look here...

Folks with "leftover" film might try contacting Rocky Mountain Film Labs -- supposedly they specialize in developing/recovering old films and such, and maybe they'd be willing to try some form of cross-processing technique.

Brian.. I had to fire off a roll of Kodachrome 64 this afternoon to give this a try. Works pretty well! When done, there is a coating of black stuff on the back of the film (not the emulsion side). Easily wipes off with a sponge or your thumb under running water:

The rest of the roll...

I don't have any personal experience with Rocky Mountain Film Labs, but I just scanned this thread: //photo.net/film-and-processing-forum/005jsk, and I wouldn't do business with them.
