On July 6, 1988, the comedy film “License to Drive” made its debut in theaters, marking the directorial debut of Greg Beeman. The movie stars Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Carol Kane, Richard Masur, and Heather Graham, who made her film debut. Produced with a budget of $8 million, the film achieved commercial success, grossing $22.4 million at the box office. “License to Drive” follows the comedic misadventures of a teenager, played by Corey Haim, who, despite failing his driving test, takes his grandfather’s prized car out for a night of teenage antics. The film’s blend of humor, youthful rebellion, and the chemistry between Haim and Feldman made it a notable entry in the late 80s teen comedy genre, while also launching Heather Graham’s successful acting career.
