Bercovici was called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee and blacklisted. He was named by Edward Dmytryk and Richard Collins. On May 16, 1951, he swore he was not a member of the Communist Party, and invoked his fifth amendment right to not incriminate himself when he was asked whether he had been a member in the past. He moved to Europe and worked in the European film industry until about 1958, when it was announced he would write the Tyrone Power film Two Against Tomorrow, but Power's death ended the project.

His son Eric Bercovici became a screenwriter and producer, as did Bercovici's grandson, Luca Bercovici.^{[citation needed]}
