Get this: A Jewish Comedy made in Germany...

Well, I certainly want to see this film.

A light-hearted comedy lampooning Jewish life in Germany and shattering post-war taboos in the process stole the show at the German Film Prize on Friday, winning six awards in the world's most lucrative film contest.

"Alles auf Zucker" (Go for Zucker: An Unorthodox Comedy), the first Jewish comedy made in Germany since World War Two, won "Lola" awards for best film, best director and best actor, as well as top honours for screenwriting, costume and music.

The film, which cost just 1.5 million euros but earned three times that at the box office, was the runaway winner at the awards, presented by the 600-member German Film Academy. It beat blockbuster "Der Untergang" (Downfall), about Hitler's final days, which went home empty-handed.

"I just beat Hitler!" joked Henry Huebchen upon receiving the best actor award ahead of Bruno Ganz, who was nominated for his stirring and widely lauded performance as the Nazi dictator.

"It's just great -- a little Communist guy of Jewish origin beats Hitler," Huebchen said of his comic role as Jakob Zucker, a downtrodden sportswriter turned cash-strapped gambler.
