'Isn't Life Wonderful?' (1924) is a film, directed by D. W. Griffith for his company D. W. Griffith Productions, and distributed by United Artists. It was based on the novel by Geoffrey Moss and it went under the alternative title Dawn. The title of the film was spoofed in the Charlie Chase comedy Isn't Life Terrible (1925).

Most of the scenes were filmed in Germany and Austria. Only one was filmed in New York at the studio. The film also stars Carol Dempster and Neil Hamilton. The film was also a failure at the box office, and led to Griffith leaving United Artists shortly after its run in theaters.

The film did receive some positive critical notices at the time, but its stock has risen considerably since; it has for some decades been considered one of Griffith's greatest films. Most also feel this film features the finest performance by leading actress Carol Dempster.

The movie has been released on VHS but, oddly, has yet to see a DVD release.
