* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: "Qué Será, Será" again, big time. Doris Day initially was extremely reluctant to even record the song, calling it "forgettable children's song". It went on to win Oscar for the Best Original Song, ran second on US Billboard chart and first on UK Singles Chart and, ironically, ended up as a theme song for Doris' own ''Series/TheDorisDayShow''. It is now #48 on Creator/AmericanFilmInstitutes' 100 Songs list.

Adding the newly Remade And Improved example; I removed the Even Better Sequel example because it's now covered by the other trope, which is more appropriate given it's a remake rather than a sequel

* EvenBetterSequel: A lot of people consider the remake to be even better than the well-received 1934 original. Creator/AlfredHitchcock at the very least felt it was more polished.

* [SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: RemadeAndImproved: This version is widely considered better and is more well-known than the original 1934 version. Creator/AlfredHitchcock [[SelfRemake directed both versions]] and while he still liked the original, he acknowledged that the remake was technically superior in some ways, stating "Let's say the first version is the work of a talented amateur and the second was made by a professional." While the original isn't considered a bad film in the slightest, the remake is generally seen as more polished, such as having a more consistent tone, a tighter narrative, more character development, and better pacing; a recurring criticism of the original is that the pacing feels too frantic in some places and too slow in others, with many finding that the climactic shoot-out in particular [[EndingFatigue wears out its welcome]] (Hitchcock notably omitted it from the remake).

* WhatAnIdiot: Some might wonder why Ben needs Jo's help to realize [[spoiler:"Ambrose Chapel" refers to a church instead of a taxidermist. The subtitles on the Blu-Ray make this seem especially idiotic by spelling Bernard's dying words without the extra L. In Ben's defence, though, we do get a look at Bernard's actual note, and it had the word misspelled as "Chappell"]].

* NightmareFuel: The scene near the end, after [[WouldHurtAChild the Ambassador]] has made it clear to the Draytons [[LeaveNoWitnesses what must be done to Hank]] [[HeKnowsTooMuch to prevent him from implicating them]]; though nothing is spelled out, the way that one of Mr. Drayton's minions starts sinisterly wrapping a piece of rope around his hands as Drayton gives them his last orders says everything. Both Hank and Mrs. Drayton being clearly afraid and listening to the nearing footsteps - believing that it's Mr. Drayton who's coming - only heightens the terror.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Arthur Benjamin composed the first important score for a Hitchcock movie, centered on the ''Storm Clouds Cantata'', the piece performed in the climax, which he wrote from scratch as a full-length composition. Many viewers no doubt assumed it was an actual pre-existing ClassicalMusic piece. Music/BernardHerrmann liked it enough to re-use it for the remake.
