Thunder was the last silent film for Lon Chaney. His health was not
good during the shoot and for the first time in his career he held
up production while he recuperated. He plays Grumpy Anderson, a
near retirement, old workhorse of a train engineer. It is said that
a piece of artificial snow, used in the production, lodged in his
throat causing an infection that led to his untimely death at age
47 on August 26, 1930. Only a few fragments exist. The novel was
published in 1930 in France and has been translated by Eric
McNaughton. "The 1929 audiences were up on their feet and cheering
Chaney at the exciting climax of Thunder." - Chauncey Haines -
