What was up with the scene where he's "visiting" Charlie McCoy's wife? When she started putting the moves on him, I thought WTF?! I never thought Clint was the kind of guy who'd.. see title. What's up with that?
"We got a job"
"What kind?"
"The Forever Kind"
Pretty sure it was her who made the move on him.
I'm happiest...in the saddle.
Yeah, but what was he doing there in the first place?
"We got a job"
"What kind?"
"The Forever Kind"
She invited him over for supper, and it was common knowledge that she and Charlie had separated.
shareYeah, but still... although she was also giving him important information. At first Harry suspected McCoy of being one of the rogue cops.
Stacy - "We got a job"
Uncle John - "What kind?"
Stacy - "The Forever Kind..."
I don't see what your problem is here. She clearly asks him why he has never made a pass at her.
shareI wondered what he was doing there in the first place. But actually, he was doing detective work.

Even if he wasn't doing detective work. The fact that Charlie seemed pretty damn unglued in the parking lot probably worried him. He gets a free meal, and can find out about an old friend if he's really messed up as he seemed. Which his ex confirmed when she said he started playing russian roulette with his revolver the last time she saw him.
Right. He was just working the case. Charlie's wife started flirting with him.
Unc John "We makin' trouble?"
Stacy "Yeah"
Unc John "What kind?"
Stacy "...The forever kind"
Harry didn't make a move on her. He was just trying to find out about his deranged buddy cop. The woman ends up horny and tries to seduce Harry..

I got the definite impression that Harry had been friends with both of them while they were still together, and also the kids called him "Uncle Harry" and seemed to like him. Seeing Charlie getting all frazzled made Harry think of talking to her, so he was working the case as well as looking in on the family he'd known when they were still together. No reason it had to be one or the other.
She seemed lonely and needy and made the move on Harry.
What's more weird is I was watching an episode of The Rifleman and saw a very beautiful woman in the show and she looked familiar and it turned out it was Christine White! We're talking 12 years after she's in Magnum Force and she looked well....rough?
It seemed Harry was there for dinner, company, and to talk about Charlie. I don't think he was expecting her to hit on him.

She was 40 or 41 when this movie was made. Forty years ago, 40 year old women didn't tend to look like they do today, what with Botox, widespread use of facial surgery, etc.
shareshe looks a little haggard here.
