Looking for song - China Gate

Can anyone out there help me find the recording of China Gate by Nat King Cole? It is a hauntingly beautiful song that made such a mark on me in my junior high years, that it still pops up playing in my head after nearly 50 years. My sister had the vinyl so I know the recording existed. Any tips on locating it? Thanks

It might be on YouTube which is where I find everything. I remember this movie and the beautiful Angie Dickinson with Gene Barry and the wonderful Nat King Cole singing this song.

It was released on a 45 rpm single by Capitol in the US in 1957, on the flipside of "When Rock and Roll Came to Trinidad". However, it was not released on a single in the UK, where the flipside was changed to "It's All in the Game". I have the US single, which often turns up on eBay. It's also available on a Nat King Cole LP of film songs.
