This paper focused on the difference between an adaptation of novel and movie <Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy> and the common process of making spy novel into an action-packed movie. The polyphony what Mikhail Bakhtin said turned out to be the way of description for double spy, a major motif of narrative in this novel and movie. There is a new possibility of adaptation that has a dialogical narrative, character description by multiple narrators and repetition of the same place. It was suggested the possibility of polyphonic adaptation by the consideration for a narrative aspect in the process of making the novel <Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy> into the movie. This study will be expected to be help for studies of an adaptation between the novel and movie.
