This article studies the Turkish cinema adaptation of a novel called The Bread Peddler. In this article, it has been benefited from documentary analysis according to the qualitative research methods in principle. Comparative research has been done on two works, based on the published documents about the novel and the film version respectively. In the struggle between the good and the bad, the fact that justice is finally manifested on the side of the good and the righteous constitutes the axis of the main message given to the reader in both works. The story becomes even more real when the author reflects some sections of the social life in Paris to the reader through the characters. The 1960s and 70s emerge as the years in which the most adaptations from foreign-sourced works were made in Turkish cinema. The Bread Peddler translated into Turkish has 484 pages and consists of three parts. The movie that we compare with the novel is the 1965 Osman Seden production. It has been tried to show how the novels adapted to the cinema have changed in terms of content, emotion, and richness.
