Robbie Williams does a great version too which was used in the kids movie Finding Nemo.
It is very similar to Bobby Darins version except the recording sounds better.

It seems there are several contradictions about this, but in the end looks like Sinatra never did record the song.

I like the one from Kevin Spacey much more though, sounds more big band lounge era.

Well just found a version that sounds exactly like Frank Sinatra, it was recorded by Studio Musicians you can find it here
Amazon.com: The Hits Of Bobby Darin & Frank Sinatra: Studio Musicians: MP3 Downloads@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61-fEgCrR5L.@@AMEPARAM@@61-fEgCrR5L

Hope it helps those who ever encounter the same question... Had a client for this saturday that was convinced of it as I was too until yesterday.
Great learning experience for both us.

i cannot find a Frank version, either...
although most people who DID record the song,
sound a lot like him
(Especially Bobby Darin)
