No Bail for the Judge is 1952 comedy crime novel by the British writer Henry Cecil. It was published in America by Harper Publications.[1] It was the second novel of Cecil, himself a judge, and along with Brothers in Law is one of his best known.
Alfred Hitchcock planned to make a film out of the novel, starring Audrey Hepburn, in 1959. Filming was cancelled when Hepburn became pregnant. It has been described as "one of the most fascinating of Hitchcock's unrealized projects".[2]
