Side note, does 'movie geography' ever throw you when you're watching a film set somewhere you've been? Like I know that Trevi Fountain isn't just down the street from the Spanish Steps... ha yes I'm a weirdo
I walked between the two the two times i was in Rome because you can visit the Long Boat Fountain (i think that's what it's called) and Shelley's House, on the way. Took about 30-60 minutes at night.

Same with the Colosseum, Forum and Circus Maximus - an easy walk between them all.

Although i expect Peck and Hepburn made it seem as though the Trevi was at the bottom of the Spanish Steps. Not seen it for a few years.

For me Bava's The Girl Who Knew Too Much is the ultimate Spanish Steps movie.

I totally love Rome.
